This hotel’s nondescript brick facade may look unpromising, but things improve dramatically once you step inside. The lobby and adjacent stone-walled breakfast area, with their comfy furniture and pleasant fireside reading nook, are instantly inviting, while the 10 rooms upstairs (especially corner suites 4 and 8) are stylishly comfortable, with tall windows and sleek bathtubs. Room 2 has two windows.
Quintuple-paned windows keep out the street noise. All rooms have plasma TVs with DVD players, ideal for taking advantage of the sizable DVD library at the front desk.
