This was my second stay at The Happy Hollow, and unfortunately, a few things didn’t quite meet the high standard set during my previous visit. First, an issue outside the hotel’s control: our neighbors returned late from their night out and continued socializing loudly outside the rooms. Although they quieted down when asked, the noise level rose again and the gathering lasted until about 12:15am. Second, the room cleanliness was below expectations. While I understand the presence of ladybugs due to the building’s location, finding both live and dead ones was less than ideal. More concerning were the previous guest’s leftovers in the fridge and mold growing in the shower. A more thorough cleaning between guests would greatly improve the experience.

The location and service were great and the bed was clean and comfortable. However, the kitchen area got wet during a storm when water came through the window casing and left plaster hanging down from the ceiling.

Pet Friendly, Historic, Great Location!

We had an amazing stay here! We LOVED that we can bring our dog, and the hiking trails are right across the street! They also gift you a water bottle to fill with spring water from the springs near the property. Great service, awesome location, and priced affordably. We will be back!

Can’t believe this has an excellent rating as it is anything but. Bathroom was 5’ x 5’. Shower 3’ x 3’ cubby. No comfort here whatsoever. Left a day early and stayed somewhere else. Creepy and nasty.
