  • Business / Event / Desire for Historic or Boutique Feel in Downtown Location → The Historic Griffin Hotel offers character and charm, especially if you enjoy staying downtown.
  • Romantic or Quiet Retreats → Sanctuaire Atelier’s cottage is excellent if you want to unplug a bit, enjoy nature, and have a quiet, cozy stay.
