Room was nice and the bed was comfortable! My biggest upset was that there was construction happening in the room next to us. I was hoping for a morning sleeping in but that didn’t happen once the construction began. Would be nice if they didn’t book rooms close to one under repair.

The Old City Fountain was obtained through the J.W. Fiske Company, New York City. The zinc structure cost $3,215, raised by a local women’s group. The fountain was dedicated on July 17, 1890 and has been in continuous operation since. It is one of two replicas that legend says once stood in Etain, France. The second copy is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
