8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (258)
"Very clean room, comfortable bed, ac/heat, tv, mini refrigerator, and microwave; great for a "historical escape", antique lovers, or a romantic getaway; it is walk-up stairs only, we were on second floor; this is a town house, not a traditional hotel, with no elevators, front desk, room service, and low chance of extending stay for an extra night, due to small number of rooms."
