Very cute place to stay, love the pool table and basement area along with the breakfast area and sitting area. However… we didn’t care for the room, black lattice on all the walls that was weirdly causing dizziness and major verify for my daughter and I. Other than that it was beautiful.

This is a super nice hotel. Not at all a "hotel factory". It has a lot of personality. But for the price, I honestly expected more. Both in terms of the room and amenities as well as breakfast, which was at best adequate. I guess what one pays for is location, location, location. At this price, I would not stay here again. Had the daily rate been say 250 or 300, then yes. But not for 500 for a night.

Great old house. The staircase was beautiful and do were the common rooms. My only complaint would be their use of the word “buffet” for the breakfast, that made me think it would have things like scrambled eggs, bacon maybe pancakes or waffles, it was more of an extended continental breakfast.
