Lovely small hotel in the heart of town. Well maintained and charming. Friendly staff. Multiple patios/decks for enjoying a bottle of wine or backgammon game in the summer. Only downside was a lot of stairs to get into the hotel, but there is a back entrance with fewer stairs once you check in.

Neat little hotel with just a few rooms. Upscale and nicely appointed. Lots of charm without feeling like you’re staying in a super old property. Very close to downtown and all the shops and restaurants. Only drawback is parking can be a chore if they’ve got a full house.
