Fodor's Expert Review Alcove Library Hotel

This is a great option if you're looking for a bit of glamour slap-bang in the middle of local life, and a stylish alternative to the big downtown hotels. It's a cute boutique hotel with compact rooms, an artsy black-and-white color scheme, friendly staff, and a huge bookcase in the lobby—hence the name. Rooms are comfortable and bathrooms have rain showers.
