Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers a unique experience with rooms that are charming but lack a view. The service is exceptional, and the location is perfect for exploring the quaint college town. However, the dining options are limited, and the whirlpool adds a special touch to the room.
I had a cozy stay at this hotel, with comfortable rooms and great service. The location is charming, even though guests might not feel as valued on the historic college campus. The dining experience was top-notch, especially with the hand-cut steaks. Although the facilities were good, rooms without windows might not be for everyone.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The service was top-notch, but the location was somewhat inconvenient. The dining options were superb, and the facilities were well-maintained. Overall, a great value for the money.
