There was no ability to control the temperature in the room. There was a thermostat on the wall but moving it had effect. Multiple pillows had long human hairs on them.

Peony festival stay

This is a good location for visiting the museums and gardens in the area. Our room was a larger suite that was in good condition but the air conditioner sounded like a waterfall non stop and was very loud all night , there's no person at the front desk. We were surprised that the owners were ok renting a room w a unit like that.

Not so quiet getaway

My stay was excellent. There was an infamt in the room adjoining mine that struggled to sleep and a group of 4 in the other room adjacent to me that were early risers. The noise travelled through the room walls and I disnt get the best sleep. This hotel could not have controlled that at all. The space was beautiful, clean and the staff was amazing.

Nice hotel, great location to visit Wyeth Museum

Nice room. No hook to hang towels or robe in bath. Breakfast is really bland. Prepackaged muffins. We opted for the great bakery next to the hotel.

Perfectly clean, restful, and friendly! I cannot give enough kudos to this unassuming little hotel! Check-in was the easiest I've ever experienced and Troy at the front desk was helpful and charming! Our sheets and pillows were so clean and comfortable that we even slept in! Surroundings are great and decent restaurants nearby. Lots of history and natural beauty.
