Expedia noted "free breakfast". Not true. They offered beignets, IF you happened to see someone connected to the hotel (doubt anyone would consider this "breakfast"). NOLA cafe next door was nice. Rooms were very small, but had everything you would need. would have been nice if they were a little clearer on how the parking worked. with no one manning the front desk, it was difficult to find out information (e.g. breakfast, parking, touristy info etc)

Unmanaged Hotel

I would stay here again,but I dont understand where to start with the problems. it's like no one runs the place.I never saw a manager or desk clerk. I walked next door to the restaurant and asked what what going on? A very helpful kitchen employee came over and gave us the key. I would mention his name but feel like I should let him remain nameless.he was extremly helpful,but not the hotel clerk.We and other guest had real issues with the rooms and he did his best to help.Isssues like,no one could get the heat working,the water spigots in the room leaked,the bathroom door wouldnt stay closed,the racks in the bathroom were falling apart,a ladder to a bunk bed collapsed on a guest,thier room wasnt clean.I think all that needs to happen is to get an employee to work at the hotel! It is a great nostalgic place with so much potential,if someone would just address a few issues and fix some very minor problems that seem to be stacking up. I did not ruin our stay,just thought it should be mentioned.

Price was great. Really enjoyed the stay. The ambiance was as though we stepped back into the past. Loved that when we arrived 3 hours early, our old style key was waiting for us at the desk. We enjoyed walking to the restaurants, bars, and lake ( Christmas Reflections was fantastic) If you’re expecting 5 star resort vibe ( we werent ) the place is not for you. We were hoping for some super natural abnormal activity but nothing in Room 3. Maybe the twins were busy in another room. Lol would definitely stay again.

Loved the historic hotel. Close to everything. Cafe Nola had a great bar. Annie the bartender was excellent! Karaoke was fun! Friday and Sat nights. The hotel provides bar soap. No shampoo, conditioner or lotion. The bed was comfortable. Loved the high ceilings and ceiling fan. I highly recommend this hotel for a quaint stay.

This place was wonderful! The crew was great, the restaurant was very good and it was a small town. We loved the walk around the lake, and enjoyed karaoke with the family at the restaurant. It is such a vool little place and a unique experience. Our family had a wonderful time here.

We loved the look of this hotel. The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. We did not like that we reserved what we thought was two separate bedrooms, but when we got inside the room the bedrooms were open to each other. The beds were not comfortable. We also did not appreciate that the room was right next to a busy highway so we could hear every car that passed.

Cool place

Stayed here on road trip heading west. Its a real gem- a totally unique building and hotel in a really lovely town. The hotel checkin was contactless but super easy and the room was unique in a fun and good way. Clean and big enough for one night.
