It’s hard to rate the staff when no one‘s there. I couldn’t find anybody. You don’t exactly check in at the front desk. They just leave your hotel door unlocked and your hotel key room inside. I’ve been trying to contact them for days because I didn’t stay my full amount of time. I didn’t really enjoy myself and nobody’s replying. They don’t pick up the phone and they don’t reply to emails.

The manager and her brother were so kind and helpful. I loved the special touches…..fresh flowers, fresh breakfast items, variety of food, cleanliness of our room and the entire house. They made us feel like their guests. We will be back! Thank you for a lovely stay.

This is a beautiful historic hotel located in a safe, great area. We loved that we could just park our car for two days and walk to everything. There were so many great restaurants in walking distance. Our room was gorgeous! Loved the decor and the fireplace.

The room and property were nice. I parked in a space in front of the hotel and received a citation because of a farmers market. How was I to know? Not happy.

The room was furnished nicely. The selections for breakfast were good, but many of the selections needed to be microwaved and the microwave didn't seem to be working. The carpet in the room was very stained and dirty. The shared space between the restaurant and the inn were not clean. We didnt know there was no elevator or front desk personnel until after the room was booked. This mattered to us because the room was for ky elderly parents. The stay would have been more enjoyable for them if it had a more tradition set up with actual person to person communication instead of everything being virtual or online. They don't even own a smart phone. The reason i chose this inn was because i thought it would be a more personable experience than a big name hotel like Holiday Inn. It turned out to be less clean, less personable, less convenient, and more money. Live and learn i suppose. Jim, the manager was very friendly on the phone, but i don't think they saw or spoke to him during their stay.

The staircase from hell.

Nice hotel. The downside is the STEEP and long staircase you need to haul your bags up. Whew! It would be appreciated if the hotel offered baggage service but that's not available. If schlepping your bags up and down those awful stairs is a potential issue for you, consider a different hotel.

The rooms were quite nice, I was disappointed that the restaurant," Moolight Tavern" , in the hotel, was not open on Sunday and Monday. The lounge area where we ate breakfast was welcoming and fully stocked with excellent breakfast food. Hopefully they will complete their paln to build an elevator.
