I wish we could have stayed at this hotel longer! It was extremely clean. This building has been beautifully preserved and has an interesting history. Our room was above and beyond. There was plenty of room for four of us, closets, a kitchenette, a very large living room and grand windows. We will definitely be staying here again!

Excellent hotel, would stay again

This was such a neat hotel with all the historical information and decor. The size of the room was great with a full kitchen. The town seemed to want tourist and your business with some activities on the square. Lucille's Steakhouse had very good food and the staff was helpful and accommodating. They might think about putting facial tissue in the rooms.

Enjoyed the historic hotel’s charm. Very friendly staff. Room was clean and cozy. Parking was easy and it’s very close to walk to breakfast out or dinner out. Only reason we didn’t mark this as the highest smile rating was 1) Sat nt stay was loud w/ traffic around the square as that was the happening place to be apparently (thank you Continental for the earplugs), and 2) we had to ask for a coffee mug (to make 2) as there was only one in there upon checkin. Would stay there again on a weeknight to give it another shot if we are down that way again (3hrs away from home).

The history of the Continental is amazing!! I didn't specify that I wanted a room with a view, so my room overlooked the alley. That was not a big deal, but the room must have been directly above the kitchen or a kitchen vent, because I always knew what was cooking. Ha. At least all the smells were good.

We love this place and stay there often. However, this last time we had two issues without resolution, our TV did not work and they did not get tit working. In addition, the air conditioner is extremely loud in a very small room. The cost of the queen rooms should be lowered to reflect the amount of space. We typically stay in a king room and we’re very surprised how small the queen room was and that is was similar in pricing. Lastly, a suggestion would be to have some type of loyalty program or even just recognition by the staff for guests who stay often.
