Very nice off season stay. While I don’t mind, the booking site does not indicate that off season you are in a different building and the main hotel is closed. I was disappointed by that but we still had a nice stay. Great price, old building with character, and good location.

If you like old world history this historical hotel is for you. My visit was during off season so didn't get to experience the hotel in full swing. Had nice amenities for being an old building.

What a quaint and charming hotel! Exceeded my expectations and I was obsessed with the wrap around porch which was perfect for breakfast in the morning and wine and live music in the evening.
