Staff was very friendly and while there is no food on the property, there are many establishments within walking distance. They have a great bar downstairs and we had a great time hanging out and listening to the many local musicians who wandered in and played. One of the highlights of our trip!

Very unique property, close to a diverse array of dining options. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are a wee bit on the tiny side, with winding stairs to get to them, but the staff does offer to help with your bags. Most importantly, they were clean.The complimentary sack breakfasts left at our door were perfect. The bar area was neat and staff very friendly there as well. Parking wasn't easy to get to, but worked out fine.
