Vastly overpriced but would be good for around $200 (we paid nearly $400). The rooms have sinks oddly placed in the bedrooms, the breakfasts are basically Jiffy Pop muffins with Walmart maple syrup, and the A/C in the rooms are loud and inefficient wall units. However, the location was great, the staff was helpful, and the room was adequate for a short stay.

This property is a GREAT location and has some incredible history. It was originally built as a boarding house back in 1880ish time frame, and has been preserved beautifully. The new owners have put a lot of work to preserving the manor, and is still a work in progress(as any 150 year old building would be), but the charm, experience, friendliness, and willingness to accommodate our needs during our stay was a 10 out of 10. I look forward to going back.

Spontaneous trip, always a great experience at the Inn! Our room was definitely small but we were grateful to find a room there as this is definitely our go to place!! The tv is in an awkward spot to comfortably watch but I guess that’s not why we go to SOHO.. lol. Thanks for another perfect stay💕
