8/10 Very good

The restaurant downstairs is GREAT! Good food and fun atmosphere. Our room was spacious and clean but a little dated. AC was cold and quiet and the property is centrally located in the historic downtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is in street, but we never had an issue.

It was a fun old hotel, character-filled, parking wasn’t easy and check in was acceptable but not overly friendly. Loved the Tavern restaurant, the waitress was wonderful.

Loved staying here!!! It is a historic inn, but you’d never know it other than the cozy atmosphere!! Only stayed 1 night, but staff went above and beyond! Definitely will stay here again when we come back to the area. Only wish we planned on staying longer so we could have explored more! Definitely again thank you to the staff!!!

Charming historic inn with attentive staff and good food. We stayed for my husband’s birthday and treated ourselves to one of the best rooms with a king sized bed and a fireplace. It made for a romantic, memorable experience. Would go again.

We like that every room is unique. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean. There is free parking about a half a block from the inn. The tavern is great and they have the best burgers. It's perfect for a overnight visit to the area. Another plus for us was the spirit that visited us.😊
