We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed everything about it. We weren’t in the main hotel but in the “southern” house, which seemed to be a little quieter. Check in was very easy and McKenna escorted us to our building/room. She was extremely friendly and helpful when we couldn’t get our tv to work properly. The rooms are small but clean and can’t be beat for the price! The location is ideal! We walked to the Jazz festival, shopping and to several restaurants. Will def recommend!

It’s a charming old hotel. And given its age old is fine, but the walls in my bedroom were in need of a good paint job. They were marred and it looked like it hadn’t been painted in many years.

We were a little taken aback when we first saw the room. This is a building from 1876 and there was much about the room that still said "1876". We were in a third floor room and the room had obviously received renovatioin - the plumbing was in really good shape and the HVAC appeared to be recently redone. The room had recently been repainted even though the plaster was cracked and peeling in some places. Renovation is very difficult in these situations. All in all, the room was fine even if not up to Holiday Inn Express levels. On a side note, we are not spring chickens; and there were many stair steps up to our third floor room. We would definitely do it again.

I loved the Hotel. The staff were wonderful. We would stay there again. Disappointed there was no tv in the room, but a minor inconvenience. Otherwise, it was perfect!

This property is very old and charming. My room was spacious and very clean. Aside from having to walk up several flights of steps to my room (but the view made it worth it) I enjoyed everything about this property.
