Hawthorne Hotel
This was a very wonderful and relaxing stay for my daughter and I. The staff at the Tavern were top notch and we ended up eating dinner there both nights we stayed. We loved the proximity to everything we wanted to do in the area. Will definitely stay again!

Unfortunately the shower curtain and bathroom counter were full of hair, like the person who stayed before me had cut their hair in it and it was everywhere. But the staff were really nice and customer service oriented so they made it a nice stay.
