The room was awful. Located in the basement with windows overlooking an alley. Cement floors with no covering. Tiny space. Ten inches on one side of the bed to the wall. No chair because there was no room. Ill fitting sheets that were not even tucked under the mattress. Restaurant not open for lunch or dinner and nothing within walking distance. I would never book this hotel again

Super disappointed: booked for the wrong date. Called *within 15 minutes* to fix the reservation, but was told they don’t have any rooms that night (OK, it happens!) but that they couldn’t refund me at all. Woof.

Very noisy. While old wooden floors maybe charming they are very loud. Little or no insulation between floors resulted in hear every noise from room above. Shower floor had two dead bugs and overhead bedroom light had cobwebs. Location is a distance from highway and town has limited amenities.

Only one criticism, and it might have been isolated to my room (107). When the overhead light in the sleeping area was off, the switches for the bathroom wouldn’t work. Those lights would only come on if the overhead was also on. Was this a quirk to my room or by design?

I travel quite a bit and usually stay at corporate run properties. This was a boutique hotel which is far better. Property and hotel are immaculate. Very well decorated and kept.
