Pros (+) Very attentive staff, perfect location, quiet comfort and clean property. For such a small property....it had all of the amenities. Very nicely done.
Cons (-) Historic hotels suffer from ambient noise due to old construction. You can hear guests in other rooms. It comes with the charm.

Pros (+) Very nice hotel, great staff, and it's so nice to get breakfast in the morning. Only complaint was we have little kids and so needed a room with two beds and the full beds are a bit small...even though they were very comfortable.
