Petite Auberge

This intimate French country inn pleases Francophiles looking for a retreat from hectic downtown. Sneak through the door into this enchanted inn where the friendliness extends beyond the cheery lobby. Complimentary perks like breakfast and afternoon wine attract folks who like to chat in front of the fireplace.

room

The small rooms feature bright flowered wallpaper, an old-fashioned writing desk, and a much-needed armoire (there's little or no closet space). Many rooms have gas fireplaces, and the suite has a whirlpool tub.

For less city noise, splurge for a room in the back of the building overlooking the deck.

bathroom

Newly refurbished bathrooms now only feature showers instead of tubs.

lobby

Farmhouse chic meets French countryside in the sunny lobby. Yellow hand-stitched pillows line thick couches, set around a fireplace. Board games and books line the parlor walls.

gym

The hotel provides passes to a local fitness center for a fee.

dining

Expect a full breakfast buffet in the downstairs dining room featuring a rotating cast of dishes (including quiche and griddle fare), fruit, pastries, coffee, and tea. In the afternoons fill up on hors d'oeuvres like meats and cheeses.

drinking

Afternoon tea and wine are served in the lobby each day. Complimentary water and sodas are also included in the rate.
