Beautiful boutique hotel!

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The interior design is perfection. Location is ideal with short walks to amazing shops and restaurants. The staff is incredible- so kind and helpful and available 24-7. The hotel is immaculate. We can’t wait to come back!

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.
