Charming

The motel is 175 years old, so the condition isn't perfect, but I thought that was part of the charm. The decor and antiques added to the overall aesthetic of the place. The property manager is eager to please to make your stay pleasant. The breakfast (included) had a waffle maker and hot quiche. I very much enjoyed my stay and would stay again if I find myself in the area in the future.

Haunted or not?

The stay was fine its a quaint hotel. Its known for being haunted and im not quite sure if what we experienced was something like that as there was someone walking by our room late at night back and forth but ended up going in the direction that was blocked off and when we looked there was no one there. Which was exciting because i love that type of stuff.

Absolutely adorable!! So much charm. Front desk was delightful and friendly. It’s right in the Main Street so it’s noisy. Rooms are so cute but need to be freshened up with new carpet and cleaning the little drapes on the door. But I’m really glad I stayed here!

My room did not have the working bathroom lights, which the staff member was able to fix right away. Went to shower, noticed old bar of used soap in the tub, the towels were hung and looked new, but ended up being extremely dirty with stains and makeup marks. When I pulled back the bedsheets I noticed hair on the dirty bedsheets. The staff member on duty was accommodating and switched me to a new room.

It was absolutely disgusting! The property is considered “historic” and they use that as an excuse to not replace the stained and worn out mattresses, bed sheets, and blankets. Stains on pillows too. There were footprints and crumbs on the blankets and there was so much cigarette smoke that I had an asthma attack shortly after arriving. GROSS!

Room was clean and nice. It was cold outside and there was only a small heater to heat the room. The hotel is not friendly for the the elderly or people that have a hard time with stairs. No parking for check in. Parking overnight was horrible.

Bedding and towels were not clean. Hair, dog hair, grime, stains on sheets and towels. Grime and dust in all corners. Dirty carpet. Bad patch job around bottom of walls and corners. Hole in closet door. Tub/shower was as high as mid way up my thigh. Very difficult to step in and out of, nothing to hold onto. No screen on window. Chain latch for door broken. Space under door was big enough for mice to go under. Electrical socket not attached properly to wall. No smoke detector. We did notify the person at the front desk. When we showed him pictures of the hair and dog hair on the bedding, he said the guest before us had, had a service animal. We got clean sheets, but he was reluctant to give us new blanket. He was saying that the top blanket was clean, but the fuzzy middle blanket he admitted was dirty, and hadn't been washed. Why would I want a supposedly clean blanket that had been on a dirty one? He ended up getting a top blanket. It didn't smell fresh at all, and was damp. We did stay because we had no other option. Very disappointing. We will not be returning.
