Nice overnight stay. Maybe a bit small but liked the location

The Read House Hotel
The hotel is beautiful, and the rooms are large. The only drawback is that the only coffee available is from Starbucks, which has subpar coffee. There is a great coffee shop a block down from the hotel called Sleepyhead Coffee. I would suggest people go there instead.
