A perfect stop between National Parks. The property is charming especially the beautiful court yard where you can relax and dine. The rooms are small but comfy and the private patio was an extra bonus.

While small, the room was clean and comfortable. The attached enclosed patio was a very nice amenity, especially as the morning’s weather was so nice and cool. A nice place to start the day with that first cup of coffee. Breakfast had good options and great staff.

Best stat we’ve had at a hotel in a while. Beautiful historic building, friendly staff, beyond comfortable rooms, DELICIOUS FOOD…can’t say enough about the food at the Henry their in house restaurant and bar. We got the King Patio Courtyard room and it didn’t disappoint. From the song birds in the trees to sit on your lounge chair, sip coffee and listen to the birds, soft sheets and beautiful hotel decor, we will DEFINITELY be back again to this little town when passing though or for a mini vacay.

We arrived late due to traffic, so we were not able to enjoy the restaurant and bar, but the staff was very accommodating and sold us a couple of beverages from the cooler. We sat outside on the beautiful patio and were able to relax after a long day. The room was quaint with an old feel, but everything was up to date and very clean. The breakfast was one of the best complimentary breakfasts we have had while traveling. We will definitely be back!

Loved staying in a beautiful historic property on our journey. We try not to do the hotel chains so this was an obvious choice for us. The lovely onsite restaurant is a bonus as driving to find a nice dinner after driving all day is the last thing we want to do. Dinner was delicious and the service was great. The hot breakfast set up was also very nice though we only grabbed some hard boiled eggs to take with. My only issue was the trains that run all night. Some noise cancelling headsets or even courtesy ear plugs are advisable. The trains are quaint during the day but tiresome all night long.
