Wonderful Anniversary Getaway
great ambience perfect service comfortable bed
We stayed for our wedding anniversary and the hotel delighted us. I particularly appreciated the hotel's ambience and perfect service. Our room, 'Cotton,' featured a large comfortable bed. The deep, roll-top bath was AMAZING!!!
The stairs are steep, especially since it's an old building. The dark blue carpet and limited hallway lighting at night made navigation difficult.

Breakfast featured beautifully presented dishes with generous portions. The cooking was excellent, especially the mushrooms. I recommend the mushroom dish. It includes tofu, roast tomatoes, spinach, and large field mushrooms on sourdough.
