No hot water

Keys were left in an envelope on the office door when we arrived. A worker was painting and dropping something in the adjacent room every 30 seconds until 8:15pm or so. Points for trying -- some new paint and punchy colors in the bathroom, and some new finishings. However, upgrades were not done well... Grout done poorly in the bathroom; space around the bottom and sides of the door to the outside; sink makes a ton of noise and has issues with air/draining; holes in wood paneling in the room. And the kicker-- no hot water. Kudos for the new paint and work to spruce the place up. However, I left a message last night once I eventually found your phone number. We still don't have any hot water this am, so we won't be able to take a shower before we leave. Campgrounds in town have hot water showers, and your place doesn't appear to be ready for the high season (Memorial Day is less than a week away). I wish we hadn't stayed here. Checking to see about a refund, if we can reach anyone.

For charm and access to history but also with modern amenities, this is a wonderful hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. Next time I will arrive earlier so we can have dinner in the onsite restaurant. It's walkable to the museums and gardens and historical sites, and also to FringeArts in a different direction.

Ok for a one night stay

Was there only for a night. TV only got one station and volume was low and could not be adjusted. Would have been nice to have a small refrigerator. View was not nice. Just side of the bridge and parking lot. Comforter had black smudge marks on it. Toilet roll dispenser was on the wall beside the toilet so you had to reach back blindly to use it. Trash can was under it so TP so it hung into the trash can. Room was small but sufficient. Overall was ok.

It was quiet and charming. I liked getting a coupon for the restaurant in the hotel, but I wish it'd been good for the hours I could actually go. Old but clean; curtains let in a lot of sun, so if you're looking for black-out, this may not be the place for you.
