The room is like vintage mixed with new cute little restaurant down below. Great drinks super quiet in great location walkable to all the little downtown shops was a perfect, relaxing quiet stay while out there visiting my daughter.
A must stop for any history lover. Beautiful building! AC was sufficient, parking was easy even though the hotel is on a main road. Our room was in the middle of the building so we didn’t hear much road noise. And yes it’s on a main road, but this is a small town so the traffic isn’t anything major. Plus the rooms in the front get lovely views of the old historic courthouse just steps away. Would definitely stay again.
AC was cold. Room was great. Very clean and nice. Amenities are great location is great. We were fortunate enough to park within 10 to 20 feet from the front door. Super easy and nice. Historic, quaint and unique. Can’t wait to stay again!! A+
I loved this historic hotel. We were in town to see our daughter I am so glad we booked here. Clean nice rooms with personality and history.

Love this hotel! Very comfortable & clean. I was graciously upgraded to a suite for my stay and the room was amazing. This may not be the place for children but for a cozy, restful stay in a place with historic charm, it’s top notch and my absolute favorite stop.
Small town feel, felt safe walking around at all times of the day. Was in town for a wedding and the location was perfect. AC worked great and beds were comfortable.
Very friendly staff, room was very clean and had an antique homey feel. Our room was on the street side so a little outside noise but nothing to terrible. Would definitely stay here again.
A very nice, well-maintained historic hotel. You’re not going to get all of the spaciousness and amenities associated with a new-built franchised hotel, but that’s not why you’re staying here.
Very cute old hotel nicely decorated to feel like a home away from home. The rooms are very clean and smelled nice. The front desk lady was very nice and accommodating. Cute little town i will definitely be back.
