Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was such a great little hotel. It was out of the way, but right in town at the same time. The lobby and dining area (only open for the complimentary breakfast) reminded me of an old English manor. The breakfast was great, scrambled eggs, home potatoes, and crisp bacon, along with the other regular continental items. We walked out the back door from the second floor right onto a super cute Main Street. This place was just a great little treasure. We loved it!

Needed wheelchair access room. The staff was very helpful. The room was adequate for needs. Could have had a bench to place suitcase on. A car was parked in a handicap spot with no tag, which left no parking one night. Not the hotel's fault. Staff was very helpful.

The hotel is in a great spot, you can walk around town. Any other place you have to drive. The hotel is older but is very nice inside it is too bad the restaurant and bar are not open. There was a lot of construction going on around the town outside the hotel and that will improve the area. Glad we went there instead of the one I usually go to.

The sheets didn’t look like they’d been changed on one of the beds, unfortunately. For being at the heart of Main Street I am surprised to find that the facilities weren’t more updated - we’re only here one night before the tournament starts tomorrow, so not a huge deal, but I would not return.

The hotel is extremely under maintenanced. The carpets had questionable stains, the ceiling had mold and was chipping right about the beds were you lay down. The grounds outside of the hotel were also not maintained well. And the entire hotel had a very moldy odor. And the breakfast was a total joke. Especially for $300/night. I was totally ripped off.
