This was a cute hotel. The shower was awesome. The room was clean. The bed was comfy. I would stay here again easily. However…. If you are a light sleeper, don’t stay in the building not attached to the hotel. VERY noisy. Lots of traffic. Next time I’ll stay in the main building.

Staying at this hotel is an experience. My daughters absolutely love it. There are guests from all over the country and even all over the world. There is a lot of history in this hotel. The only negative that I can say is the rooms are extremely hot in the winter time. The heat was turned off and the room temperature still climbed above seventy five. I had to open a balcony door just to get it to where I wasn't roasting.
