A place to relax after a long day of hiking
This is an old hotel with amazing charm. It seems they are going through a large renovation to update the building. The elevator is out of order and made getting luggage upstairs a little difficult. Our room fee was to include breakfast each morning but not offered on Sunday. There is a bar and restaurant in the basement that has not been opened in quite some time. Overall, our stay was very comfortable. and

The hotel is on the National Register and quite unique. Each room is decorated and furnished with antiques. The rooms were clean, the beds comfy and if you enjoy the old times, you use a real key. Our stay was enjoyable. That being said, we had a couple issues. The major issue was our first room on the third floor was right next to the family of the owner/manager I believe. I could hear everything and it was like being on a plane with children coughing, talking and running around and like they were right next to me. I called and asked for a new room, which we were given. The new room was great, although the jacuzzi tub and shower did not work. Small issue for me because I was able to take a bath. The elevator was not inservice, but we had no problem using the stairs even though we were on the 3 rd floor. The manager was very nice and made sure we were able to get into our rooms using the key. We enjoyed the uniqueness but it’s probably not for everyone. We chose this hotel because it was close to the hiking areas we were going to. Not much to do in the town, but that’s not what we were there for.

Romantic getaway in a historic hotel
Beautiful. Very very clean, quiet, historic hotel. Highly recommend. Unfortunately the restaurant is currently closed, and the breakfast is lacking, but the charm of the hotel makes up for this.

There use to be a restaurant downstairs. The stairwell leading downstairs is now filled with trash! Everyone that parks near the hotel can see the trash pile is they walk to the front door. And the elevator to the guest rooms doesn't work right. The rider has to push the door open manually half way when entering & again half way when exiting. This is a hazard! I think the owner is happy to make money but doesn't have a long term interest in maintaining/improving this property. Very disappointing because it was a nice place!

We really enjoyed the history of the building and how well it was preserved. The furnishing in the lobby and rooms were of the early 1900s but yet the beds were very comfortable. We were hoping to have the bar open but that was okay. I would recommend this hotel because it truly is beautiful and unique.

The room was comfortable, but the bathroom could use some attention. There was an odor in the hallway, but you couldn't smell it in the room. Breakfast was cereal, granola bars, yogurt and microwavable sausage biscuits. I guess I expected a little something more because of the restaurant, but was very disappointed that the restaurant and bar were closed.
