Beautiful atmosphere throughout the setting
It's peaceful and rewarding to sit out on the porch or in the courtyard with a drink, and just unwind. The rooms are tastefully done, the dining area is lovely, and the overall ambience comes together from the interior setting and the natural outside to provide a comfortable and cozy trip. .

Location is perfect for walking through town

Negative Reviews
negative:
The rooms shouldn't have stained linens and towels
Housekeeping standards slip a bit, with linens and towels not being completely fresh, or so old that stains aren't completely removed. You may have to request housekeeping come up after check-in, or perhaps bring some of your things with you. .
negative:
Lots of noise comes through from the next door bar
Keep in mind that there is a bar next door to the hotel which often features late night entertainment and gets quite noisy. The noise and music does filter through to some of the inn's windows, which may disrupt your sleep. .
negative:
There should be more amenities in the rooms
Guests are disappointed that there's not more in the rooms, such as microwaves and coffee makers. Although the hotel is trying to preserve a certain old world character related to its history, the absence of these conveniences is sorely lacking. .
