Here is a maximum-impact, tightly compressed version that keeps every single issue while removing repetition, filler, and soft language. It reads clean, controlled, and devastating without exaggeration. --- I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst hotel stays I have ever experienced. The issues here are systemic, not isolated. The $33 per night resort fee is unjustifiable. It includes internet and parking, yet the parking is two blocks away, which is unsafe and highly inconvenient at night. The fee does not include housekeeping. Guests are required to place towels and trash outside the room for exchange, but rooms are not cleaned. Staff gave conflicting explanations about this, with one attendant stating room cleaning was included if requested and another later denying that. No one could clearly explain why an additional nightly fee is charged for services that should be standard. Staff knowledge and accountability were inconsistent. One desk attendant repeatedly deferred responsibility by saying the owner or manager made the decision without being able to explain policies or resolve issues. In contrast, Ariel at the front desk demonstrated genuine hospitality and competence. She was attentive, kind, and accommodating, and was the only staff member who effectively helped resolve problems when rooms had to be changed after a bed broke. Room conditions were unacceptable. One bed frame broke entirely. Both rooms had severely dented mattresses that cau

Cute idea to stay in an old hotel. Have done it before with great results at other destinations. First, parked just outside when arriving and asked the counter clerk is it O.K. to park there, pointing out our car, while we check in and then go find the parking garage down the street? Told it's fine and then got a ticket the next second. $55.00 worth as it was a private parking lot adjacent to the hotel. Bad signage. Great trap for the lot owner! Room had no counter space, a very wet bathroom floor due to the sparse shower curtain that did not go all the way around a clawfoot tub. The tub was peeling badly from old paint or sealant? Would not dare to step inside that! Lots of gross hairs all over, including the fridge? Very, very dusty room from furniture legs to the chair rails. At a quick glance, it looked quaint, but you didn't want to look closer. Old, almost used up toilet paper roll welcomed us into the room. Broken toilet seat. I understand they're adding on rooms. Hopefully they will refurnish the existing ones as the location was very nice. Staff was gracious getting us stuff that was missing when we arrived, soap, sugar and creamer for the coffee maker and swapping towels out for fresh ones the next day. They had a nice front porch to sit on as well.

The staff was amazing and very friendly especially the bartender. There were some ants in the room, the ceiling fan didn’t work, and a nail that was exposed in the threshold from the bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite those issues though. The potential for greatness is so close and I think the focus is on the new part of the hotel being built, so hopefully they’ll focus back when it’s completed and we can’t wait to see the new building of the hotel.

The staff was amazing and the hotel overall was very cute and in an amazing walkable area, however the rooms did not match up to the photos/other reviews I had seen. Our ceiling fan and light didn't work. The wall AC unit was very noisy and the room heavily smelled like mold. Ended up having to check out a day early.

The check-in process was a nightmare. The gal that checked us in was the most unprofessional that I've come across in a long while. She was emphatic about the website says in bold print that there was no elevator. That is not true. Under a sub sub menu under a heading of Other things to know (in regular print). Also, this same check-inn gal stated that the parking lot next door was not for the hotel. If we parked there, we would either get a ticket or towed. It is, in fact, a public parking lot, so that was not true. The building is extremely old. The beds are terrible. the bathroom seemed to be clean but the only self in the bathroom was barely attached to the wall. When I used the toilet the handle just moved and there was NO flush. The gal that was on duty in the morning, was a peach of a person and very professional. She was a 5 star employee. That's why I gave them 2 stars. If I could give the check-in gal a negative, I would. As far as the lobby...One of the reasons I booked was because of the front covered porch. That was lovely. Also, there was a bar in the lobby. BUT, the tabletops were so extremely dirty. The floor had dried spots on the floor from spills that any of the employees ever bothered to clean. Needless to say we checked out a day early. I do not recommend.

Beautiful historic inn that has been refurbished and redecorated. The rooms are very spacious and clean. They have wood flooring, a nice bath with a clawfoot tub, and comfortable beds. It is air conditioned with window units that keep the rooms at a very comfortable, cool temperature, even on the 3rd floor. Just note that this inn has 3 floors, and no elevators, so if you have mobility issues, make sure to request a bed on the 1st level when you make your reservation. We didn't, and huffing and puffing up and down the stairs with heavy luggage was a bit difficult. There is a nice bar in the lobby area that serves coffee in the AM and cocktails in the pm hours. They close at 10 pm. Many really nice locals frequent the bar, and you can obtain a world of helpful information regarding the area and things to do and where to eat by sitting at the bar and engaging in a conversation. The bar tenders are very friendly and helpful, and make great drinks. Would definitely stay here again!
