I like the location. The exterior of the building needs repairs. The room needs to be updated. Shower / tub is in very poor condition.

Quiet and basic

Quaint and historic. We stayed during the week and it was very quiet. The Tiki bar is only open on the weekends so we went downtown for a drink and dinner.

Old hotel (1901), but well maintained. Probably would not be desirable for younger families, but we are elderly and the hotel brought back thoughts of the old grand hotels of decades ago. In town, so walking distance to food and shops. Rooms were like 124 years ago, but modern bathrooms and furniture. Lobby was like 1901! Highly recommend for older generations.

The lobby may be historic but the room was just old. Door opened with one of those keys you can drop in any mailbox if you forget to turn it in. Could probably pick the lock with a Bobby pin. No secondary locks at all. Tiny room. Finish wearing off the tub and paint cracking and peeling on doors. Furniture looks like stuff your grandmother brought to goodwill. TV was good and bed comfortable but small.

Loved the location, the room was clean, breakfast was nice. I sure do hate that the necklace I left in the room was not turned in by the person who was in charge of cleaning the room after we left. Hope they're happy with the necklace my daughter bought for me that is now stolen property.
