This is a hotel I stayed at as a little girl, and I love that it is open and operating. It's right on Water St., in the middle of town, so you just can't get more convenient - also right across the st from the fabulous Impact Coffee. I have stayed here so many times, I've lost track, and I heartily recommend it.

The property is beautifully restored and the staff is always friendly. Having a nice bar downstairs is a plus for a place to meet with all friends we had traveling together. Cute shops within walking distance.
