Hotel was lovely and the Staff was friendly. Great location, wonderful complimentary breakfast, comfortable beds, wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The only issue I encountered was that I couldn't connect my laptop to wifi. I tried, they tried, no dice. Haven't encountered that problem before or since I left. It's a mystery.

A charming older property just off of Old Town. Easy walkability to good food and artsy shops. In-house dining was a prix fixe affair, which may or may not be your thing, but there's plenty of other options nearby. Street parking was plentiful and the place is just a block off the 101 so very easy to find. I recommend it, especially if you are tired of staying at bland chain hotels.

Booked this place due to its unique Victorian character. Neighborhood very sketchy… near courthouse and jail. Advertised free breakfast, when entered dining area buffet of only gluten full selection, nothing was gluten free. Breakfast menu offered egg dishes for $25. We checked out and went in search of a diner. Also, our room didn’t have a phone! Do they assume everyone has a cell phone? I think this is a safety issue, especially in case of an emergency.
