The check-in staff were super friendly and helpful. They do not have a ramp up the stairs to get into the hotel and they have a small old-fashioned elevator. This hotel has character since it was built in 1898. Highly recommend especially if you are traveling as a couple without kids. Next time we will stay for a few days.

Nice hotel with some upgrades could be fantastic.
The hotel was lovely and the service was excellent. There was a musty odor as we approached the checkin desk that was unpleasant which was a bit distracting. The room was well kept and very comfortable beds. Our room was right on the Main Street so it was very noisy with traffic and we could hear our neighbors next door so earplugs were necessary to sleep. Overall lovely hotel and full of nostalgia.

Locked out
Everything was great except we went out to enjoy the night life and when returning to the motel we were locked out. Rang the buzzer for 30 minutes before someone let us in.
