The room was cold with no thermostat to adjust. There is mold on the grout in the lower third of the shower walls. There os a pretty gas fireplace in the room but the front desk person said it doesn’t work. The front desk guy seemed put out that I checked in at about 9:15, and noted I was the last one in.

Check in and out was easy. The gentleman that checked us in was super accommodating and friendly. The Prime Rib buffet on Sunday night was superb. The motel is old. Our room (228)was very small and had a funky odor. Toilet seat has issues with staying in place. Very annoying. Shower very difficult to operate. There were no drawers for clothes. Only a closet. Would only recommend for a night or 2. Enjoyed the back patio with fireplace and TV. Never saw any staff in the afternoon or evening on Monday. Motel was slow so may be why. No service available.

The stay was short but very comfortable. The room was very clean, quiet and tastefully decorated! We really enjoyed the prime rib buffet out on the cozy and inviting back patio area. The price of the room was great in comparison to a regular hotel and so much better because of the ambiance! We will be recommending this place to friends and family!

Beautiful 1920s era hotel, with vintage crystal doorknobs and they still use old turnlock keys! I felt like I was visiting the beautiful Lakeview Hotel from Silent Hill 2 in its heyday.

This is not really a fully functioning hotel. The current owners are living on the past efforts. Hotels.com should not list this property. There was no food service (as advertised). No breakfast either. The A/C air ducts were pouring out dust. Very poor upkeep. I could go on but this facility is one step from a total knock down.

Calm
Loved that there was no electronics (t.v.,phone,clock radio) in the room. Enjoyed having my morning coffee on the large front porch with rockers. Hotel is walkable to all the cute shops in town. Lots of natural light through the room. Floors are old wood floors, so yes they creak, but that’s what they are suppose to do. Will definitely go back.

My first comment is that there wasn't an elevator for the upstairs floors and the floor to the annex was uneven with little ups & downs. Also, in coming up the handicapped ramp out front, there wasn't a connection to to porch. You had to come in through the uneven surface of the event/sunroom. My other comment was that the first room that I was given reeked of smoke (not their fault) and they quickly gave me another room upstairs and carried my suitcase up for me.

The room did not have a television, which I assumed was a standard room thing, so was disappointed & the floors were very noisy. The rest of the hotel was very nice and nostalgic.

A great place to stay
My stay was wonderful, from the minute I checked in, until I left. Staff was very welcoming and assisted me getting up a few stairs with my walker and bags, Ate dinner on the patio. Had a wonderful server, Wisteria, who was very attentive. The tomato basil bisque was delicious as well as the shrimp and grits. For dessert I had a different kind of carrot cake-not the usual one. Ate breakfast there also. I would stay there again if I was in the area. It was right in downtown where all the shops were within walking distance,

The hotel is very quaint. The staff was amazing in every single way. Everyone was awesome. Great location. We ate at the restaurant and it wasn’t that good but we were impressed how accommodating they were with my husband who got sick and had to stay at the hotel. Will come back next year!

It was wonderful time! In walking distance from the downtown. There was a BBQ cook off and music at the casebook the property! The Romano the first floor give that older vibe which we love! The rooms on first floor is spacious and big. There’s no tv in the downstairs rooms. But it bears walking up the stairs bc there’s no elevator. Overall 5 stars
