Great location, basically a travel hotel

The hotel is in a great location. Rooms are very large and work very well when traveling with older children. The condition of the hotel was fair. Carpets in the hallway were stained with a few rips. I have stayed here before, so I knew what to expect. I was a little surprised how un-attentive the front desk staff was. It was almost like we were disturbing them when we said good morning.

Expensive for what you get. Church Street Inn sounds like it would be charming... its not. Rooms are clean but cheaply renovated. Comfortable, but nothing special. Zero amenities. Another Inn nearby offers breakfast and a great wine and cheese happy hour plus snacks in room. We will be staying elsewhere on our next visit. Just not worth the price.

Enjoyed our stay. Loved the unique nature of the rooms and the big windows. The kitchenette was helpful especially for a quick breakfast. The people at the desk were especially helpful and friendly. Great location to everything in the historic district. I would stay here again.

When we arrived the front desk was unattended with a sign stating they would return shortly. We waited at least 20 minutes. When she returned we were not offered help with luggage or even a cart. We were charged $75 extra fee she explained was “in case we mess something in the room up”. She then gave me a paper that she said was the rules and pointed out a QR code to tip front desk and housekeeping even though there’s no housekeeping if you stay less than 4 nights? We did hear another nice gentleman offering help to other guests the next day. Our room had a chain hanging on the side of the door with no hardware on the other side and the deadbolt hardly worked.

Excellent location

The location and the price make this a very attractive hotel. It’s small and only two levels. Our room had the living space, which including a full kitchen, downstairs and the bedroom up, This hotel would be primo but the general maintenance/repair aesthetics are beyond poor. There were half patched holes in the wall without touchup paint covering the spackling, making the room look run down. On the upside, the staff was friendly and helpful. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone willing to see the perks of location, safety, and price and overlook generally minor cosmetic shortcomings. Also, the parking is one block away in a large parking garage. Temporary parking is available in front of the building for loading/unloading, but long-term parking is in the garage. Guests are given a garage pass that allows for unlimited parking access
