Lovely hotel right in the center of everything. Loved the modern, quirky (in a good way) decor mixed with the traditional style of the historic building. Place was very clean, well-appointed (hair dryer, robes, iron, soaps/lotions, glassware, cork screw, water in the rooms) with a lovely sitting area and well-stocked kitchenette. Front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Would absolutely visit again.

What a treat to stay in the comfort of an historic building where old traditions meet a more modern flare. Especially, to stay in the same room as President Washington slept in. Close to all restaurants and shops. Excellent stay!

Wonderful place! Very clean, quiet, great location. Walking distance to everything. It was awesome staying in a historical building. We didn’t know that on one of our tours, our exact room was apart of the tour! It was awesome. We will defiantly come back, and bring our friends and family.
