I work in the hospitality business myself, and I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences I've had. The staff was incredibly helpful when I booked the wrong date and need to change my reservation, the hotel is full of charm and thoughtfully added amenities and decor. Every detail was thought through with the highest level of execution, and the effect was one of comfort and elegance. I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance.

They did an awesome job restoring and decorating this historic property. Loved everything about it—sustainability features, coziness, cleanliness, etc. They also provide coffee and fruit and biscotti in the mornings. The location is great too, at a short walking distance from the Commons. Highly recommend
