    Nothing. No elevators might be bad for some travelers.

    It was a great place to stay. Staff, location and rooms. Made to order breakfast was excellent. Very much like a B & B.

    It’s a very old hotel so, as you would expect, room sizes are small.

    The free breakfast (off a menu, not buffet) was outstanding. The free happy hour (beer on draft from a local brewery and quality wine and charcuterie) was also outstanding. The service was first class! Location is excellent!

    The room was not great. No place to put luggage. There were lamps that had no outlets. The ceiling fan was noisy. The air conditioner was covered by the curtains. There was no closet. It was very expensive.

    We liked the location, the charm of an old building, the breakfast, the staff, the games and wine and beer.

    The minute we walked in the lobby was cozy and inviting. Our room was very comfortable. We enjoyed the complimentary wine and beer in the evening. Breakfast was great! I have to note that the hotel concierge, Todd is amazing at his job. We truly enjoyed our stay and will seek out a room here in the future.

    It’s not that I didn’t like it, but you should be aware, this is an old hotel. It’s small. It doesn’t have all the things you may expect in like chain hotels but that’s what I actually liked about it. For instance, there’s not an elevator. That wasn’t a problem for us (it’s just one flight up) but it might be for some.

    This is such a charming place. It’s very quaint with amazing amenities. Full complementary breakfast. On tap beer in the lobby any time you want. Happy hour with wine & charcuterie. There’s a private side patio to relax on & tables & chairs in the front of the hotel to sit & relax & watch the ongoings of SOHA. The beds were SO comfortable.
