It met my needs-'clean, quiet and comfortable with an old wprld charm. It would've been nice to have had a list of local restaurants, grocery, etc in the room along woth a mini fridge. The clerk was friendly and explained the procedure to get in/out when no one was available

Our choices in hotels is usually hit and miss. Once we stepped inside, my husband and I were amazed by the architecture. The beautiful dark wood and the old smell was what intrigued me. The smell wasn't bad, it actually brought back great memories of my grandparents basement. They were rock hounds and had turned it into a shop to sell the items they made. The room was so comfy and inviting. The service was excellent! If you're looking for a great place to get away from life, this is it!

Quaint boutique hotel with lots of history

Boutique hotel, right in the heart of Batesville. Walkable to some restaurants, a nice coffee shop, and other businesses. Beds are new and comfortable. I enjoyed meeting the owner and one of the partners and hearing about the history of the hotel.

Clean and classy!

The hotel is spotless and well maintained. I don't look for frills and luxury when choosing a hotel. Cleanliness and comfort are what I'm interested in. The Sherman in is a no frills hofel that was immaculate and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is no elevator and all guest rooms are on the second floir. This didn't affect our stay but would if you were disabled. Plenty of SAFE parking is available and convenient to the hotel. This was a very enjoyable stay!

This is a very old hotel that has been renovated. You can tell because the sprinkler system pipes are seen overhead. That leads to the unique charm of it however.

Historic Sherman Inn on a Snowy December Day

Staying in the historic Sherman Inn in December was completely delightful, and a light snowfall this morning only added to the Christmas charm! Our room was sparkling clean, as was the bathroom. Simple, elegant decor, with wonderful black and white vintage photographs of Batesville throughout the inn. We enjoyed walking through the town, seeing all the beautiful old red brick architecture and twinkling lights.

The hotel is almost empty. We had to call for someone to come for the front desk and she was attentive and got us our room immediately. However, the advertisement had shown restaurants and a beer garden there, and all of those had closed a while ago. In at some point, it was an amazing charming place feels like it is just about ready to close up.

We loved the hotel and the character of it! Our biggest disappointment was the lack of restaurant and bar. We understood that it was hard for the owners to get help. They were working hard to fix the issue. The staff provided all sorts of information to help us with our stay. We will stay there again.

Wonderful historic property in small town Batesville , Indiana. This is rural America at its best in many ways. I can only hope the new owners of the hotel will succeed with plans to reopen the restaurant. It should a very fine culinary experience with an accent on German-American cuisine and more.
