Amenity highlights: Guests enjoy complimentary morning newspapers, coffee, and tea in the lobby every morning, and complimentary wine tasting every evening by the fireplace. In keeping with the hotel's interest in supporting the local art scene, guests are provided with easels, paint, and paintbrushes during the wine hour. Several guest "masterpieces" have already ended up alongside professional artists' work on the hotel walls.

Insider tip: The Lipman Wolfe Department Store once occupied this 1912 building. A Cinnamon Bear visited the store each Christmas handing out cookies and starred in The Adventures of Cinnamon Bear on a local radio station. The hotel celebrates the tradition by placing a plush Cinnamon Bear toy (available for purchase) on each guest bed.

The hotel offers complimentary newspapers, coffee, and tea in the lobby every morning, and a complimentary hosted wine reception every evening by the fireplace.
