A hidden gem!

Inside this historical building lies a hidden gem! We were upgraded to the King Deluxe suite without asking (& for free!) with a hot tub. The room was clean, the hot tub was perfect, and the bed was heavenly. We will definitely be staying here again if in the area. The manager was so kind & readily available. There is a restaurant/bar downstairs but we didn’t use it. You can’t beat this place - especially for the price! :)

This is an historic gem of a property. Chris was very nice and accommodating. The location is good and the area around the hotel is very walkable and safe. The walls are thin so you can hear conversations from other rooms quite easily.

A place to relax after a long day of hiking

This is an old hotel with amazing charm. It seems they are going through a large renovation to update the building. The elevator is out of order and made getting luggage upstairs a little difficult. Our room fee was to include breakfast each morning but not offered on Sunday. There is a bar and restaurant in the basement that has not been opened in quite some time. Overall, our stay was very comfortable. and

The hotel is on the National Register and quite unique. Each room is decorated and furnished with antiques. The rooms were clean, the beds comfy and if you enjoy the old times, you use a real key. Our stay was enjoyable. That being said, we had a couple issues. The major issue was our first room on the third floor was right next to the family of the owner/manager I believe. I could hear everything and it was like being on a plane with children coughing, talking and running around and like they were right next to me. I called and asked for a new room, which we were given. The new room was great, although the jacuzzi tub and shower did not work. Small issue for me because I was able to take a bath. The elevator was not inservice, but we had no problem using the stairs even though we were on the 3 rd floor. The manager was very nice and made sure we were able to get into our rooms using the key. We enjoyed the uniqueness but it’s probably not for everyone. We chose this hotel because it was close to the hiking areas we were going to. Not much to do in the town, but that’s not what we were there for.
