Family-focused reviews and ratings
Wonderful location and friendly staff, but the breakfast was disappointing.
A quant older hotel undergoing renovations, but the location and friendly staff were wonderful! The walk to the historic sites was lovely.
Quick trip, room was recently updated, and the staff went above and beyond! Breakfast was good too!
Great location near the trolley and attractions! Breakfast was a real highlight, lots of choices. Rooms were spacious and clean, though I did have to ask for some extra soap.
Historic charm, beautiful grounds, and a great location! This place is steps from everything!
