Compass Rose, will go back soon

Rooms were spacious, lots of charm we were faked out because it looked older, but it was new construction with an older flare. All amenities looked new. Lookout over the river was nice. Short walk ( or crawl) to many eating spots and stores

We stayed at the Compass Rose Inn because it was close to a concert we were attending. We were able to walk back and forth. We were very happy with the Compass Rose. Both Inn Keepers we met were so nice and helpful. I Expected just a adequate breakfast, but it was very good.
