Pros:

Quant and charming.
We were allowed an early check in without an uncharge, which was very nice.

The queen bed was not as comfortable for us but the property is great as well as the location.

Pros:

Wifi in the room was weak and faded in and out. Pretty much useless. I also noticed it was slow in the lobby as well. Carpets everywhere need a good cleaning. Furniture in room was tired and worn but 5 stars for cleanliness. Staff was amazing - friendly and helpful. Dining area was perfect. Food was excellent.

Pros:

The surrounding areas speak for themselves. The quaint quiteness of the town. Is relaxing. It reminds me of a beetle juice/ The shining resort. The history is cool. The fact that it may be Haunted? Even better. The staff. The food. The speakeasy. Amazing. Would highly recommend. And will be back. 👽🤘

Pros:

Loved the grounds and the grand building.. I know it is an old building, but the management needs to take care of the rooms. Our towel bar in the bathroom was very loose and could fall off the wall. We did not use it and reported it to the front desk.

Pros:

Charming and cozy. Good choice for a low-maintenance solo traveler. Staff is friendly and helpful. The only issue I had was there was no water fountain or water source in the hotel other than purchased water bottle. Additionally, the only fridge is a communal one.

Pros:

Great location and historical hotel. Had a nice, comfortable suite, but bathroom could clearly near upgrading (e.g., caulking around tub looks like it has mold, but it's just very old caulking that has turned black). Disappointed that hot tub was closed, as was the pool, but we still paid a resort fee (and we didn't use any other facilities). Very odd that restaurant had too options for paying, with extra fee for charge. I've seen this at small shops, but never at a hotel.

A great stay
Pros:

Our room was really cute but the AC was not working. We went to the desk at 3am and we were moved to an adorable cottage. I really appreciate that our needs were met immediately and that we were able to get to sleep and enjoy the rest of our stay. I would definitely come back and I would definitely book a cottage instead of the main hotel. The hotel is great but the cottage was amazing.
