The Upham Hotel
This hotel was delightful from beginning to end. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest from the garden to happy hour to our morning coffee and chats with other guests. Looking forward to our next visit.

ELECTRICITY WENT OUT IN HALF THE ROOM. MAINTENANCE HAD TO TURN BREAKER BACK ON. WIFI SERVICE VERY SPOTTY. TOWELS WERE NEVER AVAILABLE AT THE POOL. OTHER THAN THESE ISSUES, THE STAY WAS PLEASANT. THE LOCATION WAS CENTRAL AND GREAT. STAF WAS FRIENDLY.

Bath Street Inn
Such a great B and B! We had the Balcony Room, which is on the second floor of the main 1890s house. The room is smallish, and the bathroom is very small, but it doesn't matter! Very cute and cozy, didn't mind the size. Having a fridge in the hallway just steps from the room was a plus. Delightful ...
