"Very unique structure... you ring a bell and wait for host to open the door (a key code allows you to enter hotel on your own once you check in). Building is unique -- a loft-style bank / hunting lodge (yes, it is all of those things). Town has preserved much of its historic buildings, and repurposed them -- a bit of a walk to other attractions (Steampunk Museum, and blue penguin colony)."
