Guests enjoy a 1900s-themed hotel that was built as a meeting hall by the Knights of Pythius in 1890. Beginning in 2016, it took 18 months to renovate, and the owner made sure that each room included both modern and vintage amenities.
There are 12 spacious, studio-style suites, and each displays characteristics of the building's rich history, like exposed brick and hard wood flooring. Each room comes with luxurious amenities like comfortable furnishings, lovely bathroom features, and excellent views.
Though each room is different, possible amenities include king, queen, or double beds, rainfall showers, walk-in closets, mini fridges, breakfast vouchers, kitchenettes, large-screen TVs with Netflix, spa products, antique desks and wardrobes, coffee makers, plush linens, as well as complimentary chocolates, newspapers, and bottled water.
