Summary: I'm all for historic, old vintage style hotels. However, this place seemed a bit run down. I didn't like the fact that when I arrived to check-in. I was notified that there was a possibility that the heaters did not work which is a major red flag especially during the winter season. When I walked into my room, it was very small, the wood squeaked every time I stepped on the floor, the walls were thin so I can hear all conversations going on right next to me. Not to mention that the bathroom was filthy. The toilet bowl and since was not clean. Plus, there was not a TV in my room, so entertainment and privacy was limited. It felt more like a dormitory more than an actual hotel stay. I feel bad because the staff and front desk assistant was extremely kind but overall, I was not impressed with the place.

Summary: Information and descriptions aren't accurate

Paula Jan 1, 2026 07:24:02 AM

Summary: The hotel does not have adequate heating system. Our room was freezing cold. Staff was not readily available but finally found someone to get us additional covers. They only have breakfast on the weekends -not daily as advertised. We were in a “pet friendly” room which looked nothing like photos presented on your website. The room was not as clean as it should have been. The pet friendly room was sub-standard. The inn has a great history but should not have had guests if they could not heat the place.

Summary: What a fantastic find! The Inn is gorgeous and the staff is friendly. We slept like babies and woke up to a delicious breakfast with coffee and juice. We absolutely loved it!
