A great gem with character!

The location of this hotel is fantastic! It is one block from Beacon Hill Park with quiet streets, lots of flowers and an old fashion decor. The room was roomy with two queen beds, chairs to sit on include a desk with a large chair. Very much enjoyed our stay. We are semi regular guests at this grand old hotel.

Lovely historic hotel in quiet neighborhood. Easy walking distance to main attractions. Staff very friendly and accommodating. No air condition but they provide fan and with the window open you get a nice breeze and wake up to chirping birds. Hotel restaurant was very good and reasonably priced.Free parking is a plus. Loved our stay and will be back again! Very clean!
