8/10 Very good

Nice variety at breakfast. Parking was easy and fee was reasonable. The bed and bedding was incredibly comfortable!! the temperature of the room was a bit hard to regulate, too cool for the first snow day of the season.
Gail, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was excellent, and everyone was very friendly. The only trouble was that the room was slightly cold.
Manav, 2-night trip

No breakfast when we stayed. Either seasonal or discontinued.
Carol, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was not available. Our room was mediocre and hot. Im pretty sure our room was wrong due to a person training. The inns were beautiful, i wish the room offered more to match the high price.
Chelsae, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was nice and it was clean. My door was not secured tightly. Breakfast was great.
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming historic buildings in a quiet neighborhood. Main lobby common room is a very inviting & comfortable space to relax. Staff was friendly & helpful with information. Delicious breakfast with a variety of offerings. Floors are creaky and walls thin since buildings are old, so can be a bit noisy when other guests are moving around. Great place to stay outside of busy downtown.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have stayed at this lovely and unique hotel setting on several occasions during the past 25 years. The former private homes that were redeveloped as a hotel are spectacular in architectural design with solid oak molding, stained glass windows and gorgeous public spaces. Our only complaint was the significant delay getting hot water to our third floor room. Everything else was wonderful
Susan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was extremely could, the only option they give me at the front desk was to connect the electric heaters.
Luis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was okay. Carpet was stained and the furniture is worn. You can also hear a lot of outside noise so sleeping could be an issue.
