The old buildings are very neat, but it would be really cool if you could walk inside them, or at least into the first room, and then see pictures of the rest. One of the homes has a little walking path behind it... it was like a secret passage way, which my kids really enjoyed exploring. It's close to Old Town - you can walk over, see the shops, and enjoy some ice cream.

The Tap Room has a good bar with decent priced drinks and very friendly bartenders. The french fries are delicious too. I heard from others the dinner here is pretty good. If you're staying at the hotel, definitely partake in breakfast. It's the best breakfast buffet of any hotel I've ever stayed at. It came with my room, but I was under the impression it isn't included in all rooms, so make sure to ask.

I absolutely loved my Italian sandwich with all the fixings, including hot peppers. The bread was so soft and there was just the right amount of meat and everything else. There was plenty of seating and the staff were very nice. I'd be in trouble if this sandwich shop was closer to my home, lol. I was so excited to eat, that's why my photo only shows half the sandwich.
