It’s a beautiful area but with live music Friday and Saturday night it makes for a not so relaxing time. The walls are thin so we could hear the music and neighbors stomping around and slamming doors both night. Even a dog barking below us. The bed was comfortable but the shower dripped and there was mold on the ceiling. Coffee maker was dirty.

LOUD, LOUD and LOUD stay away from this property. Aside from the unappreciated sassy attitude from the front desk this property is trash. Located on a busy highway the noise level is extremely high. We had the upstairs guests show up at 11 pm and walked around all night until 4:30 in the AM constantly turning on water (super loud). Needless to say we did not get any sleep. Huge mistake in selecting this property. I am convinced the guests above us were crack heads. Yup this is the type of property this is.

Beautiful Lodge with the Nicest Lodge Host

Beautiful Lodge with the nicest Lodge Host / Management. Rooms are very clean, updated and very comfortable bed. The surrounding area is very beautiful and has a great downtown with wonderful shopping and eating. I was here on business to get away from the city and relax. Can't wait to come back and bring the family for a vacation.

Wanted to love this historic gem

Everyone we encountered during our stay was friendly, but they’re extremely understaffed. Never anymore than one person working the lobby at any given time, so anytime they needed to step out to assist anyone, or take a break, the lobby would be locked and closed…with no one to answer the front desk phone should you need any help. We checked the hotel’s main website before booking and it mentioned “some” amenities may be seasonal, but it failed to inform that all bars and restaurants on property would be completely closed. They advertise a market on site and said it would be open every morning at 10 am upon check-in, which we thought we could make work for our breakfast each morning. However, every morning of our 3 night stay, the market was never open by 10. One day, not until after 11am. Needless to say, that never worked as an option for us for breakfast. When I checked at the front desk each morning about when the market would be open, I was met with, “they should’ve been open at 10am”. We then found out that they rent out that space to a third party who seems to make up their own hours. I understand this is an old property that has been undergoing renovations, but the outlet placements in the room are ridiculous and some don’t work. The microwave in the room was almost unusable due to that. Bring extension cords. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was another story, clearly never cleaned before us. Hair in shower and visible dirt all over the floor. Just meh. :/
