We enjoy staying in B&B’s but this property has seen better days. It needed updating and a thorough cleaning. The hallways smelled as though they were trying to cover up that old musty smell. But it was an unpleasant aroma that didn’t do much to improve the smell.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very good stay for a reasonable price in a nicely themed and spacious room. The location is wonderful for catching night life downtown, including the bar in the same building that is only an elevator ride away. I would stay again without any reservations. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. The hotel shares a parking lot with a few other businesses so self parking can get a bit tight.

Old time charm with modern comforts.

Quirky little hotel. Nice old style decor with modern bedding and bathroom. Loved the breakfast room in the morning. Would happily come back.

The building was old and historic...very interesting. Our room was clean and updated in keeping with the period of the building. Location and parking were very good. We ate at one of the restaurants next door. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent.

We realized after 9 pm when we were able to return to our room after checking in earlier in the day that our wall-mounted AC unit was not effectively cooling our room (78-80 degrees). We called the after hours number, the young lady from the bar came up immediately to investigate and also contacted the inn keeper. The inn keeper was incredibly responsive, friendly, profession, and moved us to a different room where the AC unit was working properly. The inn is historic, quaint and very well kept. Breakfast was copious and yummy!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hotel was unique and quirky which we like over the big chain hotels but, it need some updating and repairs. The bed was very uncomfortable and all the seating in our room needs better support and cushioning. Air conditioner was missing the piece that directs air flow so it blew directly on the bed. Couldn't open the windows either. Probably would not stay here again.
