We had to switch rooms right after check in because turning the thermostat to on to heat resulted in flooding from the bathroom cieling. Suspect pipes for the boiler were ruptured. Everything in the new room was fine. Very spacious and comfortable rooms that are in good condition.

Spacious rooms and walkable to good eateries

This is a handsome building and tastefully altered to become a hotel instead of a courthouse (it should have remained a courthouse forever!) My room was spacious and clean. The heating system was very quiet. The shower was simple to figure out and worked well. The cooked breakfast was decent, but the bakery items could improve. No complaints about the coffee. THe hotel could add signage to make it more obvious where the main entrance is. There were several good restaurants within walking distance.

Nice but cold room

We stayed on the 3rd floor corner suite it was really cold out and the room was freezing you could feel the air coming through the windows the should put plastic up.understand that the building is older but when you set the temp to 70 to try and heat up and it doesn't go any warmer then 63 throughout the night its not comfortable. I would stay there again but bring my own space heater lol. Also the hot water didnt get very warm. All and all it was very clean

We were able to take our dogs. The property had a large lawn area which was great to take them for a walk and let them run around. Our room was spacious and very clean. There was an event on the main floor but we did not hear anything in our room.

Overall, a nice place and fixtures from the past.Heat not good upstairs in the 1st room they assigned . Switched to basement room. It has good heat but noisy due to exit door and 24 hr. Gym close by. Would like a better deal to stay the 2nd night?

Stayed there for 1 night. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and quite modern, especially the bathroom. Only downside is the parking lot is a bit small but other than that it was solid. Breakfast was actually pretty decent for a hotel.
