Property and room were cute, but shower was full of black mold and we had terrible allergies all night. Also there was no full length mirror and no place to fill up water bottles. Parking was convenient. Room was musty and stuffy. Overall people were kind and respectful and friendly.

Charming

The motel is 175 years old, so the condition isn't perfect, but I thought that was part of the charm. The decor and antiques added to the overall aesthetic of the place. The property manager is eager to please to make your stay pleasant. The breakfast (included) had a waffle maker and hot quiche. I very much enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I find myself in the area in the future.

Haunted or not?

The stay was fine its a quaint hotel. Its known for being haunted and im not quite sure if what we experienced was something like that as there was someone walking by our room late at night back and forth but ended up going in the direction that was blocked off and when we looked there was no one there. Which was exciting because i love that type of stuff.

Absolutely adorable!! So much charm. Front desk was delightful and friendly. It’s right in the Main Street so it’s noisy. Rooms are so cute but need to be freshened up with new carpet and cleaning the little drapes on the door. But I’m really glad I stayed here!

My room did not have the working bathroom lights, which the staff member was able to fix right away. Went to shower, noticed old bar of used soap in the tub, the towels were hung and looked new, but ended up being extremely dirty with stains and makeup marks. When I pulled back the bedsheets I noticed hair on the dirty bedsheets. The staff member on duty was accommodating and switched me to a new room.

It was absolutely disgusting! The property is considered “historic” and they use that as an excuse to not replace the stained and worn out mattresses, bed sheets, and blankets. Stains on pillows too. There were footprints and crumbs on the blankets and there was so much cigarette smoke that I had an asthma attack shortly after arriving. GROSS!
