Fodor's Review:

The charm of this tall, redbrick building with its hunter-green shutters and awnings, its first-floor facade fashioned from cast iron, and the half-dozen American flags, is not lost on passersby. Built in 1852, this inn was once a series of early cotton warehouses and factory offices. The cast-iron, interior pillars were left and the brick walls exposed; the effect is handsome. The interior design is tasteful and professionally done with details that put it a step above what you will see in other similarly priced properties. Although the furnishings are reproductions, comfort has been emphasized, and all guest rooms look great. Each has one or two queen beds, a couch, and two comfy chairs, not to mention 18-foot ceilings. Breakfast is a good offering of cereals, meats, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, and Danish. Pros: hospitality and service get very high marks; the evening reception goes farther than the requisite wine and cheese; great restaurant. Cons: not enough parking spaces (15) for the number of rooms; hallways, some art, and bathrooms are not as wonderful as the rooms; staff and clientele not as sophisticated as in more pricey inns.
