Be careful going here. The waitress must've thought we were highly buzzed, or totally unaware, or both, but she tried to pull a fast one and tacked a battle of wine on the end of our second credit card ran - bill. We noticed immediately,...Read More

The only positive things I could say about this place: friendly staff, historic building and convenient location. Everything else: very strong old and moldy odor inside the building and our room, very uncomfortable pillows and inconvenient shower, towels with holes, when they cook at the...Read More
