Very nice person and manager that checked us in. The room was clean. The bed needs to be replaced because the bed springs are worn out and creak every time I got in or out of bed.

A very affordable option for the area, and a fun historical flare. The bed was firm - super comfortable and my room was recently renovated so everything was fresh and new. Also, very clean rooms, clean towels each day and the staff was very friendly. I would stay here if I visit the area again.
Fire put area is nice

Nice little place, quiet and pretty and the room was immaculate. It had everything you need in the way of coffee, tea, bathroom amenities and a fridge. The young ladies at the front desk were very efficient, but could be a little more welcoming, like try to make eye contact and saying hello when we arrive, not just “name?” Otherwise, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Wonderful bed and shower. Very quiet. The accoutrements and cleanliness and quiet make this really worth the outstanding price. We’ve known about this little secret with a great price for a lovely room for years. So I hate to be the one to say it’s fabulous in a review and then one day I won’t be able to get a room. Ha ha. Includes continental breakfast in the morning. All I can say is it’s where we always stay and we’re always happy with it.

Upon arrival I was given keys that did not work. After getting that fixed a housekeeper walked in on me while undressed. They knocked, I asked them to wait, they did not respond and knocked again, I repeated my request for them to wait at an increase volume, and they keyed in anyway while I was completely indecent. When I told the front desk she just said she would take care of it, no actual apology or follow up happened on this incident. I felt very violated and on edge the rest of the stay.
