    Such a quaint bed & breakfast! The staff was excellent and very helpful. Free breakfast & free wifi! Reasonable price. Walkable distance to Walnut St. that's packed with endless restaurants and bars.

    Central location, historic landmark building, and boutique hotel decor, rates are cheap and the complementary breakfast runs until 10:30 am in a sunny room adorned with fresh flowers.

    The overnight clerk is not friendly or geared for customer service we asked for a late check out, we got into the room at at 130am and was informed to call for mgr approval at 730 when he came in.
