This was our experience,,,,a nightmare. We had a reservation for 2 adults. We were in town to attend my sisters wedding. At the last minute we needed to bring our 8 year old grandson. Upon checkin we were told he could NOT STAY w us since our reservation was for 2 and no larger rooms were available to us. Mind you, this was said in his presence. How rude and NO OPTIONS!! 😡 we offered to pay an up charge or something. He could share the bed w us. I’m there for a wedding, now what!?!? Rehearsal was in 2 hours. No where to change or get ready. I’ve traveled the world and never have we experienced such an inconsiderate hotel. Will never recommend this hotel to anyone!

This hotel is historic, established in 1897. No tv or telephone which made it a welcome escape from big city life. This bed and breakfast was extremely cozy and quiet, the best sleep I've had in a long time. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. A delicious, healthy breakfast of fruit, yogurt, granola,toast eggs and juice was top-notch! Thanks to the entire staff for our wonderful stay!

A wonderful stay!

The hotel is lovely and the staff was wonderful. The hotel was built in 1897, and it is apparent that the owners are invested in keeping it in good repair. The rate was reasonable, and the breakfast was delicious and healthy. We will definitely return.
