Heater was old and out of fear of burning the property down we had to keep the curtains open. The TV was inoperable. There was no staff when we arrived we had to go to another property to get keys. No parking and public parking was $60.

The room was clean and decorated adorably. However there’s an old style gas heater near the window that you do not want anything near so in order to stay warm we had to keep the curtain half open and the window faced other windows that are very close. Also the TV was impossible to watch or connect to. Also with no parking and having to pay $60 in public parking makes this property one of never stay at again. We ended up checking out at 8am.

Fantastic older/historic property. This is not a property for people with mobility issues. Narrow corridors, step in old cast iron claw foot tub for shower (that I lovvvved) this is a true historic hotel that is like stepping into the past. I loved everything about it. But if your inconvenienced by older styles of design, then leave this one for those of us that appreciate it

The room was adorable, clean, and comfy. The hotel has great history and old pictures are everywhere. It’s like a museum. The elevator was a kick! I felt like I stepped back in time. The staff was friendly and courteous. Petting Skittles was an added bonus. I will definitely be staying there again!

The hotel has character and I enjoyed the different experience. Skittles, the cat, was the best part of all. I'd recommend the place if you want to have a unique experience vs conventional hotels.

Very clean and love the vintage aesthetic and the old elevator. The front desk receptionist is also very kind and helpful. The house cat definitely elevated our experience even more. She's a sweetheart. The breakfast provided at the Cornel hotel was also nice. We enjoyed the medieval theme of the breakfast ambiance. Definitely would consider staying again for another staycation. Only thing I wished was that it was advertised better that the bathroom was communal. For the price we paid, I was assuming the toilet and shower would at least be in the room. Overall, we loved the aesthetic and would consider staying here again if the price was a little more affordable.

Be aware!

No AC, although didn’t need it with windows open. No hot water in bathroom sink - not plumbed for hot water. Breakfast was at a nearby hotel. Other than that, great location and comfortable. Historic building!
