"Very well-decorated room in a renovated historic building on a busy road. The front desk person was very friendly and helpful. The room was small but cozy. The parking was a block away, which wasn't a problem, but there wasn't any place to drop off your luggage while you checked in. The continental breakfast had high quality food, but not many choices. I felt like overall it was a good place for one night, but not an extended stay. "
