The place has a lot of old character but it was really cold. We stayed in the winter and had to ask for more blankets because the mini floor heater was doing very little and the curtains were keeping no cold out. The staff were nice and grabbed us more blankets. We didn’t know the room was going to be as small as it was, it worked for as a place to sleep for a night besides it being as cold as it was. If you want the 150 year old property feel it’s a good choice.

No parking and no idea that I had already paid for the room. Showed him my bank statement that had the amount withdrawn from my bank account. Will never use Expedia again.
