I love the older style of the building. The tile work in the lobby is wonderful. A very unique stay and I'll definitely keep it in mind on future trips! Pro tip: the biscuits and gravy on the breakfast menu is top shelf!

While it is an older hotel, and it is expected that many features will be dated, I found it to be a charming experience. I have paid a lot more, for a lot less. The staff were very friendly.

Clean room, nice staff, late night bar and friendly locals. The hotel is dated but this is reflected in the price, it’s always my go to place. The beds are comfy and clean only downside is the air conditioning units can be a little noisy.

Mattress was terrible. Really lumpy with no support. Should be replaced. No maid service on weekends, apparently.

Breakfast was very good. Hotel was clean & quiet. Definitely dated but worth the stay. It was walkable distance to the venue we were attending. Shower had wonderful pressure & plenty of hot water. One of the delights of the room. Tom Tom's the bar at the hotel came in clitch with all night pizzas & nicely priced drinks. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Very large rooms. Unique hotel stay, a step back in time with all amenities of 21st century. Enjoyed having a “cooked for you” rather than buffet breakfast. No need to drive for dinner or drinks, Tom Tom Tap had it all. Nice area for an evening walk.

Historic Hotel

It’s a historic hotel that is very clean with modernish furnishings. The beds are updated and comfy. The other furniture is not new, but is clean and looks nice. Room heater/air updated and very quiet. Room size very spacious. Breakfast is small menu, but they cook to order and was very tasty. Fun experience and I would stay again.
