Spacious rooms and walkable to good eateries
This is a handsome building and tastefully altered to become a hotel instead of a courthouse (it should have remained a courthouse forever!) My room was spacious and clean. The heating system was very quiet. The shower was simple to figure out and worked well. The cooked breakfast was decent, but the bakery items could improve. No complaints about the coffee. THe hotel could add signage to make it more obvious where the main entrance is. There were several good restaurants within walking distance.

Nice but cold room
We stayed on the 3rd floor corner suite it was really cold out and the room was freezing you could feel the air coming through the windows the should put plastic up.understand that the building is older but when you set the temp to 70 to try and heat up and it doesn't go any warmer then 63 throughout the night its not comfortable. I would stay there again but bring my own space heater lol. Also the hot water didnt get very warm. All and all it was very clean

Will not recommend
First, there is not a drop off area. Had to walk the very icy parking lot to get to the door. Secondly, welcomed by a not welcoming muslim lady wearing a pro Palestine scarf which made us very uncomfortable. Thirdly, no microwave in the room Icy parking, icy sidewalks and front desk ?!?!?

We always stay at The Courthouse. It's beautiful, clean and quiet. It does offer continental breakfast, but that aspect needs improvement.
