The building is beautiful and full of character. The kitchen was impressively stocked with healthy options like overnight oats, chia pudding, yogurt parfait and even hot cider and chocolate chip cookies. I also loved the Nespresso coffee and tea selection. The living room was our favorite spot calm, cozy, and perfect for relaxing by the fireplace with tea before bed. Everything about the atmosphere felt peaceful and welcoming. The only small thing to note as is expected in charming old buildings is that sound carries more than you might think. It caught me a bit off guard, but it’s just part of the historic charm! ##### Eva Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Li 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice place, convenient location, very nice staff, I will come again. ##### Li Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful building and lovely details.
