In a good area for shopping and dining with plenty of options nearby. The historic room we were staying in had no mini fridge or microwave though, so we couldn’t bring leftovers back with us. Though they don’t have breakfast, they have coffee and tea available in the morning. Hot tub access is first come, first serve and you have private access for an hour. It’s a lovely little area and quite relaxing. The room fit our needs as we were there as tourists and didn’t spend a lot of time in the room, but the historic rooms are small enough that only bedside tables, the bed, and an armoire fits, so if you are expecting a desk to work at, you’ll need to go to nearby coffee shops.
