This is a unique hotel. The bed was comfortable and the staff was friendly. However, the hotel is filthy. There are scuff marks on the elevator doors and on the molding throughout the hotel. My bathroom and linens were clean, but the rest of my room needed a deep clean. Also, the breakfast was okay. The danishes were very stale, though.

The hotel was conveniently located and so so eclectic and charming. The decor was super unique, the room was spacious and the beds were really comfortable. Our only real complaint was that the bathroom was kind of rundown, the toilet was running and the bathtub was kind of stained (not really DIRTY but like permanently stained). There was a very simple hot breakfast, adequate but not fancy. Overall very pleased.

Loved the uniqueness of Cheshire inn and the themed rooms by authors. Had a great breakfast! Also the Fox and Hound Tavern inside and the Basso just a few steps away out the door. The one thing I did miss was having a mini fridge and microwave.

It is a neat property. The charm and quirkiness outweigh the negatives. Fox and Hound is a very neat spot with a friendly bartender. The room, specifically the bathroom, was disappointing. There is no way to turn on the shower without being sprayed with cold water, and the water sprays out making a mess. The exhaust vent was covered with dust, making me question the cleanliness of germs I can't see. The smoke detector cover was missing, and the light switch is on the far wall from the door which is not fun in the middle of the night. I would stay again, its a neat place overall, but attention to detail is lacking.
