"This 40-room property is a real B&B, with quaint, spacious rooms overlooking a lovely courtyard, traditional-style decor (dated for some), and no hotel-style amenities." Full review
Star Service "Centrally located in the historic district...this inn offers comfortable commercially tinged facilities and a friendly staff. " Full review
DK Eyewitness "Located in the historical district, this charming luxury inn is close to the major attractions, fine restaurants, and shops."

For the best view and quiet factor, go for the rooms that face King Street and are as close to the top floor as you can get.
