Helpful employees, lots of stairs
Room was very small, and the shower was awkward & strange. The bedside alarm clock went off 4 times during the night! Bed was hard, but the pillows were great. The man who carried in our luggage also washed our car windshield and brought us coffee. It is an interesting place.

Historic and cozy
Beautiful historical Inn. My room was on the 3rd floor. Quiet and clean, no frills but comfortable. No elevator due to being a historic building. Didn't get to seeing the 2 other properties but my room had a private bathroom. Only issue was due to the space the shower stall was very tight. Water pressure was good and it has a heater fan, which was a unexpected perk. I ate dinner at their restaurant, good portions and hot, not nuked in a microwave. The staff were friendly/polite, made sure I was accommodated. They answered any questions that I had about the historic house, gave suggestions about other places in town and made me feel at home. Continental breakfast was better than most places I've stayed at. Will definitely have to plan a longer stay without other plans. I was up for a wedding (not at their venue) and stayed 2 nights. Also wanted to add they have a on property maintenance who was personable and made sure that I could call if the room was to cold. Due to being on the 3rd floor it seemed to have a separate heating system. Great stay would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Our stay was amazing. Such a cute place. Walls are a little thin, but that comes with staying at an Inn, so it wasn't a huge issue. Will definitely stay here agin while I'm in town.
