Hurtig oversikt: It's a historic gem with a fantastic location, but you'll pay extra for parking and WiFi, and might have to deal with dated bathrooms and thin walls in the older sections.
Gjennomgått av @madisoncreative: My stay at the Nassau Inn was incredible. This suite is perfect if you want a quiet, sophisticated retreat. I spent hours just lounging on the sofa, reading the provided Einstein books with a martini in hand. The four-poster bed is massive and so comfy.
