Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Magnussen is an older building, but well maintained. We have stayed here nearly every year for the past 7 years to attend the Shakespeare Festival. It's very reasonable price wise, walking distance to said festival, and the owner(s) (Mehda?) and staff are friendly, accommodating, and responsive. We will be staying here every year as long as we are attending the festival!

It’s an old hotel with quirky room layout. They keep it clean and staff is friendly. Full size refrigerator in the room is great if you’re on a long stay. It’s in the old downtown area of the city with many interesting shops and eateries. The price was the lowest in the area.

I can’t complain too much because we needed a place that took dogs. But I won’t be giving it a five star review either. It felt like staying in a 3rd world country. The room was quite out of date and run down.

Definitely what you think of when the term "roach motel" is brought up. The walls were filthy, there was some kind of mold growing on the phone, and something sticky was all over the little office chair. There was no toilet paper when we first arrived, the curtain grommets were broken and barely closed, and the air conditioner sounded like it was going to explode at any moment. The staff was friendly and the breakfast provided was nice, but overall definitely not somewhere I would recommend.

The service was terrible and the rooms looked horrendous, as well as they didn't supply toilet paper, shampoo or any necessities, I would not recommend this place to anyone ever.

The room itself was very dated. Not bad, just dated. There were bulbs missing in the bathroom for what i assume is a heat lamp. The switch for the bathroom light was behind the full size fridge so we didnt even know it was there for 2 days. It was clean, though. The front desk/lobby was always locked so if we needed something, ie toliet paper we had to call the number with our cell.

Second time I stayed at this hotel, it’s more like an INN. The staff is family owned and they keep their rooms nice. They offer refrigerator, microwave, large beds, cable TV, coffee maker and easy parking. It’s nice for a short stay.

We picked this hotel for its proximity to the Shakespeare Festival. Really couldn't beat how close it was--made for a lovely walk. Definitely a quirky little hotel. Our AC unit was falling off the wall and we could see light around it from outside so there is no way it was working correctly. Even though it was set to 68 I was so hot the first night. They do charge per person, which was annoying because I was paying for the two bed room anyway, and the two extra kids I had really didn't use up much resources. We did have a full size fridge in our room, bathroom had a heat lamp and bidet BUT the bathroom products weren't filled and our TP ran out the first day (they didn't leave an extra roll in the room). Breakfast options were pretty pared down and 50% were gone/empty with no one around to refill. I was more pleased with the price vis a vis the condition of the hotel before they charged me more for my two extra occupants.
