I had a pleasant stay at The Temperance House, appreciating its unique historic charm and convenient location near shops and restaurants. The staff, especially Kathy at check-in, were friendly and attentive, which made me feel welcomed. However, the breakfast room was quite dimly lit, and the food could definitely use some upgrades.
