We enjoyed our stay. It was a very quiet location with a very nice, large room. The only complaint would be a slower draining sink but it was minor. We will stay here again

We appreciate the unique and ornate shared areas and were surprised by the modern updated room. It was large, clean, and quiet. The age of the building comes with a bit of a smell that we were able to mask when in our room. The amenities are few, but the premise behind Erik’s Retreat makes the lack of extras easy to overlook. We only needed the room as a landing place and was perfectly comfortable for our needs! We’d stay again!

Very quiet, staff (which you will not see too often) are very friendly and eager to help in any way. Rooms are very nice and clean. The only downside that I would mention is that there is no cable TV, only broadcast. That being said I will definitely be staying at Erik's Retreat again. Wonderful experience.

We really enjoy the stay in Erik’s Retreat. The room is clean and quiet. We were a bit concerned about the airplane noise mentioned in some comments, but we can barely hear the airplane… Check in instructions are very clear, and no unnecessary social encounter with staffs at all. Great stay overall! Will definitely come back again when we are in the area.

A step into yester-year, hospitality finest.

This hotel is very Vintage. Upon entrance was a pianist playing the piano beautifully. Very large mirrors and pictures showcasing the historic art and local partnerships. Very clean, quiet, and the reseptionist gave us door to door service. Enjoy my stay

We really like the spacious 2 bedroom suite. The beds were ok maybe a little soft for our liking but comfy!! The building is very cool. We only had a problem with locking our door to leave but my text was answered quickly and we were on our way! There was street parking available right in front so that wasn’t an issue. I would definitely book here again.

This was our second visit to Erik's Retreat. The check in process is seamless as it is all done virtually. Room was spacious, clean and well organized. Plenty of bath toiletries available. Keurig coffee in the morning with brownies and cookies for a donation if you wish. We love the concept of this property and will return again!

Large suite, good bed, quiet. TV small. A microwave would be nice. Couldn't find any stir sticks. Loved the shower. Sink stopper leaked a bit. Would have tried the snacks but for the presence of nuts. Enjoyed our stay. Ideal location for us as it is near our daughter's home.

The person at the front desk was so friendly and helpful! The room was great - spacious, beautifully redone. The homemade treats were great touch. The temp of the room was WARM. The air was on but even at the lowest setting it was well over 70 degrees. The bathroom floor wasn’t very clean, so I just wore slippers.

I loved the flowers, immaculate garden areas and lawn! Appreciated the ample supply of towels and supplies and how tidy and clean everything was. It was a beautiful quiet place with the exception of noise from air traffic which we got used to easily enough. The history of the building and the decor was great too. A nice lady next door assisted us with entry into the front door, just had a little confusion about it. Everything worked as it should though, thank you!

Nice, clean, and easy entry. Parking is very inconvenient. It would have been nice to be informed of the road construction. The AC did not work, our room was close to 80 degrees. Never got a response to my email, even though the property said we could contact them by email. All that being said, I would consider staying again.

This was our third stay at Eriks Retreat and it keeps on getting better. We finally arrived early enough to meet a few staff members who greeted us, shared some good information and escorted us to our room. We noticed that there is now music in the lobby which makes it feel a little less eerie when the staff is not present. Also, there were more treats in the room baked by Maggie, one of the workers who is also autistic. Since last year, the hotel offers a breakfast for guests Friday through Sunday. We did not take advantage of this but will keep it in mind for the future. One of the reasons we choose to come here is that it is run by adults with autism. The suites are updated, clean and well supplied. You can also make donations to this wonderful organization if in the small dropbox in your room if you have enjoyed your stay
