The hotel looked brand new even although the building is a hundred years old. we had dinner in the restaurant and the food was first class. We arrived late and left early so didn’t use the pool but it looked very clean. Free parking right out front is always a bonus. Gorgeous little town with lots of quirky shops and restaurants.
