False advertisement.
Pros:

Hotel, with a smelly motel vibe. Front desk guy didnt understand english, and had water leaks in the front desk area. Rooms look nothing like the pictures, mattress was from the 70s or 80s with the metal springs, would have killed my back. Very disappointed. I walked right back out, did not stay, will be asking for a refund.

Pros:

The tub was not clean, with hard water stains throughout. The shower faucet leaked, and while I did use the tub, I cleaned it beforehand. The amount of grime on the washcloth afterward was shocking. There was also a clear shampoo bottle cap left in the tub—easy to miss, but still something housekeeping should catch. That said, I truly enjoyed having a tub to soak in, especially since I have chronic back and hip issues.

The bed, unfortunately, was very uncomfortable, and I had trouble sleeping during my three-night stay. Noise from the nearby road—especially from semi trucks—also made it hard to rest, though I understand that’s due to the location.

I appreciate that the hotel is historic, and I think my aunt, who owns a historic home, would love it here. However, some furnishings felt a bit cheap and didn’t match the historic charm of the building.

The staff were responsive and courteous, which I really appreciated. I’ve read about recent renovations, but the bathroom could use further attention—at minimum, a deep cleaning and plumbing repairs. I was told there's a recurring leak from a second-floor room affecting the ceiling below, which seems to be a known issue.

Historic Charming Hotel
Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly. Easy to use the keypad codes to get into the building and your room. Very quiet. Reasonable price. Historic with fixtures that seem original to the hotel. Clean hotel and room. Safe neighborhood.

My room was supposed to have a floor length mirror and the reason that I chose the room. However it did not have that mirror. The bed was firm. The hotel had some features that needed updating. For example new grout in the shower, rust on the ceiling in the bathroom. With the charm of the age of the hotel it could use a little bit more renovating to make it truly upscale. For example looking at the design of the rooms to make it more cohesivs and artwork was lacking or not cohesive. The hotel just kind of felt old versus a renovated upscale historic building. Also at night the hotel felt kind of creepy like it was haunted.

Pros:

The rooms do not look like the online pictures at all. The room was so dirty, stains on the sheets, toilet and bathtub so gross, we had no choice but to stay due to our arrival time but had it been earlier we wouldn’t have stayed. This place has so much potential but it needs a lot of work.

Pros:

Amanda and Keyu were so nice and accommodating. It was an older building and in some ways it was like going back in time. Don’t expect a perfect modern feel. However do look forward to a really cool experience. It is an 1800’s era hotel that is kept very original. We hosted the wedding party for my daughter’s wedding there on short notice. They opened up the bar and made us feel right at home. The place is under new ownership and they are working diligently to make it something that is even more enjoyable! I think we will go back just to hang out there and see them again.
