"Location is fantastic - tucked a few doors away from the bars and restos on Elgin. Just a short stroll to all of the sites and the canal. The Inn is an old home there can be a lot of noise transfer from other rooms but better than the street noise at some of the hotels closer to Spark St......the 3rd floor is a bit of a climb up the stairs if that is an issue for you. Rooms were cozy and comfy. Breakfast was a great bonus for a few bucks. Super friendly staff."
