The Write Inn is one of the best places to stay in town. It's not too fancy but it has more character than your average holiday inn. The staff were very attentive, friendly and accomodating. The marble bathrooms were really neat too!

Easy walking distance to the train, charming restaurants and area. more on Expedia
