It was a fun old hotel, character-filled, parking wasn’t easy and check in was acceptable but not overly friendly. Loved the Tavern restaurant, the waitress was wonderful.

No offense meant, but the Temperance House could really use a refresh. Carpets appear not to have been changed in 50 years. It's in a great location and could be lovely boutique hotel, but it very much needs to upgrade.

Loved staying here!!! It is a historic inn, but you’d never know it other than the cozy atmosphere!! Only stayed 1 night, but staff went above and beyond! Definitely will stay here again when we come back to the area. Only wish we planned on staying longer so we could have explored more! Definitely again thank you to the staff!!!
