We had such a great stay that we're rerouting to stay after our 5 week trip. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The service throughout was great and while it's a charming 50 room historic hotel it has 21st century comfort.

This is a unique property built in 1939. It has been updated over the years...but many good things of the past have been preserved. We enjoyed the restaurant & bar and free parking. We highly recommend this hotel!

Beautifully restored historic hotel. The patio made the room feel much larger. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The dinner was very good with excellent service. Breakfast included several hot options-more than just a continental breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
