First of all we were welcomed by Laurie who was not only very kind and sweet but also helped us get updated rooms near our friends. The newer rooms are fantastic, incredibly comfortable beds, very clean and nicely remodeled, great water pressure on the shower, spacious and quiet. We loved the historic nature of the place, we heard from the locals that the hotel was a favorite of the community and had a lot of history attached to it so it was nice to stay at a beloved place. We were near some cool train wagons and a lovely outdoor space that felt tranquil and very relaxing. We truly enjoyed staying there and will remember to come again if we're around the area.

Nice bed

The bed was comfortable. I have a lot of back pain so that’s always a bonus for me. The only problem was the bathroom window didn’t lock. The area felt safe but still it made me uncomfortable to leave my stuff the room. Besides that everything was clean. and I would definitely stay there again.

I would not recommend this place. The pictures fooled me. The room was dirty, and I'm almost questioning whether it was cleaned. Bring your pillows. I didn't notice the mold at night, but I saw it in the morning. I let the front staff know about the mold. The staff was friendly and respectful.

Overall it was perfect for what we needed. The kitchenette was perfect for making breakfast in the morning and for late night snacking. Cons: Aside from the strange musty smell when you first walk in. The smell goes away after you open the door for a while. The other reason was the kitchen sink faucet. No matter how tight you turned it, it kept dripp

The propery is nice but it needs a makeover. The room we stayed in had frayed carpet, busted blinds, paint spills in the corners. The property itself is beautiful and very relaxing. Our room also needed a more through cleaning. There was dust throughout the room. The edges of the baseboards had build up on them.

The staff were helpful and friendly super great with handling accommodations for our issue which was the mold spots on the ceiling and bathroom in spots with that being said they immediately offered room service to clean it and to move us to another room and requested a partial refund of our fee from the place we booked with and issued the $100 hold back early. The grounds were beautiful (the pool is NOT open) and quiet and we enjoyed our stay otherwise.
