Pretty and welcoming. Helpful. Morning staff quite late putting out breakfast ( I’d been told 7:30, was being set up just before 8) but maybe a miscommunication.

We loved the "boutique feel" it was very personable and cozy. We had a King with Patio on the first floor and it was perfect for us. Although we arrived late the check in process was smooth. Breakfast was delicious and included parfaits with fresh fruit, assortment of bread, and cereal.

Weekend stay

Very nice room. Everything was clean and smelled welcoming. Front desk service was wonderful. Breakfast was great except for on the day we checked out, there was no breakfast which was annoying. It’s a very charming hotel.

Comfy bed but expensive

This was a nice hotel, comfy bed and pillows, had the best shower ever! But there is no one at the desk after 6pm, so we got the key from the mailbox. Just coffee, juice, muffins and yogurt for breakfast. Our room was cold when we arrived. And we could hear traffic and smell smoke the whole time. I’m not sure if the smoke was from the fires in town or if it was coming from someone else’s room. I would have liked a microwave if not in our room, out in the lobby to heat up my coffee

This hotel was even better than I thought it would be. It's extremely clean, a warm environment and the property itself is very beautiful and historical. Not a single negative thing to say. Food options are close and the drive to Salem takes 10ish minutes. Great stay. Loved it.
