8.4/10 Very good! (248 reviews)
BEWARE: DO NOT BOOK HERE ON A WEEKEND NIGHT IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO ACTUALLY SLEEP. We had a terrible experience here this past Saturday night. The room was nice enough (though the carpet was basically soaked through from check-in to check-out, likely from a recent carpet cleaning). The real issue was the ridiculous noise from a DJ set going on at the hotel from ~2pm until midnight, hosted by the hotel without any mention on their website or booking sites. This was EXTREMELY loud on the deck basically just outside our window until 9pm, when they moved it inside after our second request that it stopped. At this point it went from a blaring DJ set to a dull but still very audible thumping that lasted until at least midnight. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most ridiculous experiences I've ever had, especially when paired with the history of the hotel and the expectation of a peaceful visit. It's one thing to cater to a younger crowd looking for this sort of nightlife, but not when there is no mention of it anywhere, especially in a such a small hotel where it should be obvious hotel guests looking to rest will be forced to deal with thumping club music throughout the night. Come to this place if you're looking for a hotel run by Chris Kattan's character in Night at the Roxbury.

Very nice hotel. Right in the middle of town. Great restaurants nearby. The regatta was happening the weekend I stayed so it was pretty much a party at night. Loud music at the restaurant next to the hotel. But I wasn’t bothered. I travel with foam ear plugs.

Great location. It was fine for just one night. The deadbolt didn’t lock, and the safe didn’t work. The room felt more cramped as there was a slated wall on one side (severely limited standing room and space for luggage). It was nice they left snacks and some bottled water in the fridge for guest use. Again, we were there less than 24 hours, and it suited our purposes.
