The Inn is in a prime location which is great! Unfortunately the elevator was out of service. Asking for someone to help me carry my bag up several flights to my room was an inconvenience to the front desk clerk. And further, the front desk personnel were unfriendly at best, rude at worst. The Inn could be wonderful. But the reality is that it is not!

The elevator at the property (three story, with no ground floor rooms) was not operational for most of the stay including the end. The property staff did not seem concerned with the guests and their issues. While I was able to move my items downstairs, I believe that the hotel is out of ADA compliance and the general manager didnt seem to be to concerned.

The property is very nice and well maintained, with the exception of the elevator. The elevator was out of service the entire week of my stay and walking up 3 flights with luggage was a hassle.

A wonderful stay!! The staff are very pleasant, helpful and always had a smile! The room was spacious, well furnished and pretty clean. (A little dusting needed in a couple areas but for the most part clean). The iInns restaurant is beautiful with terrific service and the food was excellent. The area is quiet, but with shopping opportunities within walking distance. I recommend this Inn and will stay there again if the opportunity arises.
