The rooms are bright and spacious. Hardwood floors make a nice change from the usual dark wall-to-wall carpeting, and the interior design -- whites, powder blues, pinks, polka dots, distressed picture frames holding black and white photographs -- can seem a little too cute, but again it's a welcome change from the dark browns that you'll find in so many other hotels and B&Bs. The only downside I've discovered in the course of a few short stays is that, probably because of all those hard surfaces, sound from the hallways and communal areas can spill into your room in the mornings -- so if you fancy a bit of a lie-in, you might be disappointed.
