One night stay for the Christmas parade. Perfect location. Since there were no guests the night before we were able to check in early, shop, have lunch, a nap, and then the parade.

I stayed in The Old Town room right at the top of the Richard Johnston house. If you like top-floor accommodations than this is a good choice; and has a private bathroom. The staff and the food were great, and private parking is always a plus. I enjoyed my stay here this past November and look forward to staying here again sometime in the Spring of next year.
