Nice, different, relaxing
At first, when the cab dropped me off at the corner, it was kind of difficult finding the lobby. It felt like the inn was in the middle of nowhere, though downtown is just a little bit away. I walked up a large flight of stairs (not a handicap friendly place) only to be encountered by locked doors with signs instructing me to "go to the front" door," with no indication of where the front door was. However, when I finally found the lobby, the one woman who was working there was very personable.
This place is like a little deserted mansion, with a few rooms. I stayed in the Salt Air room. I liked the four-poster king bed, the windows all around the room with great views of the city, and the cozy gas fireplace that could be lit with a switch. The bathroom was a big plus -- a huge room with its own heater and a beautiful, big, sparkling clean tub. I stayed here on business, but it would be a great place to stay for a couple on a cold winter night.
The next morning, the same woman who had checked me in before cooked breakfast for us. The breakfast was boring -- toast, eggs, greasy potatoes, but the menu changes daily. You might get lucky and get banana pecan waffles, which was listed as an example breakfast. Overall, a nice and unique place. Be aware that some rooms smell a little musty.
