I understand the hotel is old but the bathroom in room 208 was the smallest, craziest one I have ever seen. The headboards were against the wall nearest the hallway. Out of a rating of 10 I would give it a 6.

A Wonderful Stay

I've been travelling a lot for work and the Hawthorne Hotel, and my stay at the Hawthorne Hotel has been a clear bright spot in my many nights away from home. The staff were lovely. The room was cozy and charming. The Tavern was a wonderful respite at the end of long days. The location is great. Love the walkable area nearby. On-site parking was super convenient. In short, a great place to stay.
