I spent 2 days here and was so pleased to have chosen this hotel. The location is great, the cost offers great value, the hotel is pretty and comfortable, and the staff couldn't be more helpful.

The old mansion glows with artisan painted walls, polished woodwork, period light fixtures, antique furniture and original artwork. The original three-story house was built around an open inner...
