The only parking option is valet; it’s $30 a day and basically required because there’s nothing else around. The rooms are tiny; you’re basically paying for location to be in walking distance to shopping, bars, etc. amenities are basically nothing; there’s a mini bar shoved into the closet which makes using the closet tough. No hotel restaurant, pool, nothing.

It's hard to find the driveway for the property but after that the hotel is close to all the area attractions. We walked everywhere. This is a quaint hotel with a friendly staff. The only drawback was the small shower.

The hotel is so lovely, I really enjoy smaller hotels with personality and vintage style, fabric headboards, crown molding, beautiful tile. It is under a bit of construction and our room overlooked the scaffold and parking lot which was a bummer. The staff is very accommodating and thoughtful - they agreed to switch our rooms, and sent me a bottle of wine and chocolates for my birthday! I loved being able to walk out o to the Main Street for shopping and dining. I will stay in this hotel again.
