Robert
Nice hotel in a great location, walkable downtown, However parking is very limited, the rooms are rather small think cruise ship small, and it is very loud. We were in room 10 and could hear everything outside and downstairs including the snow plow all night long.

Our stay was great this hotel was so charming. Only problem is we kept hearing a door slamming right under our room all night long. I think the restaurant or kitchen was under us and it was bothersome to listen to that door slamming.
