Keep in mind it’s a historic hotel so manage expectations. No hairdryer or TV in room, a/c not adjustable . We stayed Monday night so no bar facility . A short thunderstorm resulted in minor flooding in our corridor . Overall hotel is in a great location but is in need of a refresh . On check out we were not asked about how the stay was which was surprising .

We had a little problem with ants in the room. Also could have used a bathroom trash can, some water cups, luggage rack (other than the dresser), and actually having two chairs for two residents wouldn't have been too bad. We were fine - just suggestions.

Check in and out was easy. The gentleman that checked us in was super accommodating and friendly. The Prime Rib buffet on Sunday night was superb. The motel is old. Our room (228)was very small and had a funky odor. Toilet seat has issues with staying in place. Very annoying. Shower very difficult to operate. There were no drawers for clothes. Only a closet. Would only recommend for a night or 2. Enjoyed the back patio with fireplace and TV. Never saw any staff in the afternoon or evening on Monday. Motel was slow so may be why. No service available.

The stay was short but very comfortable. The room was very clean, quiet and tastefully decorated! We really enjoyed the prime rib buffet out on the cozy and inviting back patio area. The price of the room was great in comparison to a regular hotel and so much better because of the ambiance! We will be recommending this place to friends and family!

Beautiful 1920s era hotel, with vintage crystal doorknobs and they still use old turnlock keys! I felt like I was visiting the beautiful Lakeview Hotel from Silent Hill 2 in its heyday.

This is not really a fully functioning hotel. The current owners are living on the past efforts. Hotels.com should not list this property. There was no food service (as advertised). No breakfast either. The A/C air ducts were pouring out dust. Very poor upkeep. I could go on but this facility is one step from a total knock down.

Calm
Loved that there was no electronics (t.v.,phone,clock radio) in the room. Enjoyed having my morning coffee on the large front porch with rockers. Hotel is walkable to all the cute shops in town. Lots of natural light through the room. Floors are old wood floors, so yes they creak, but that’s what they are suppose to do. Will definitely go back.

Exceptionally clean and well maintained for an old hotel. It was quiet, and close to the town- we walked to dinner and breakfast. Would definitely stay again!

My first comment is that there wasn't an elevator for the upstairs floors and the floor to the annex was uneven with little ups & downs. Also, in coming up the handicapped ramp out front, there wasn't a connection to to porch. You had to come in through the uneven surface of the event/sunroom. My other comment was that the first room that I was given reeked of smoke (not their fault) and they quickly gave me another room upstairs and carried my suitcase up for me.

The room did not have a television, which I assumed was a standard room thing, so was disappointed & the floors were very noisy. The rest of the hotel was very nice and nostalgic.

A great place to stay
My stay was wonderful, from the minute I checked in, until I left. Staff was very welcoming and assisted me getting up a few stairs with my walker and bags, Ate dinner on the patio. Had a wonderful server, Wisteria, who was very attentive. The tomato basil bisque was delicious as well as the shrimp and grits. For dessert I had a different kind of carrot cake-not the usual one. Ate breakfast there also. I would stay there again if I was in the area. It was right in downtown where all the shops were within walking distance,
