Historic Gem

I absolutely loved this hotel. I booked it because it had a good rate and no parking or resort fees. I didn’t realize I was staying in a piece of history. I found this place by accident but can’t wait to stay again. Every single person we encountered from cleaning staff, front desk, dining we were met with smiles and were treated like family. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
Treva, 1-night trip

I would recommend this delightful hotel.

Beautiful and historic hotel with a refreshingly healthy focus which I could feel immediately upon entering the building. Excellent buffet breakfast, very friendly and personable service, and interesting surrounding area to do some leisurely exploring. I would recommend this delightful hotel.

Such a lovely hotel with a touch of history where I had a great stay for just one night. Although the building is aged, it has all the amenities I need, such as free parking, a platform lift, a cooler filled with ice bags, free coffee and ice/hot water and a pool, etc. Plus, bed was comfy and breakfast was excellent.
