Sorry to say it was awful. We checked in at 6:00 and checked out by 7:00. Dirty worn. Reeked of pot. Could be nice with a complete overhaul. Too bad.

Yes we checked in. I took shower thinking it might be ok. But then the pot smell and loudness of what were actually people living in hotel rooms. Not clean. Could not bear thought of sleeping there. Gross. Tried to get money back but you guys said since the shower used you could not. But shower was gross and that was also part of reason we checked out Carson not working. You should reimburse.

We stayed during a busy event downtown and parking was limited. The front desk clerk went out of her way to help us find parking. Hotel is older with a very historic feel. It is clean and the location can’t be beat for downtown activities.

Couldn’t ask for a more unique hotel; the staff was so courteous and always available, and the rooms were clean and well appointed. We’d come back.

Our room was nice but very small! The only complaint was that if you're staying on the weekend and want some peace and quiet, you won't get it. There is a few restaurants close by that blast their music until around 2 am. If you want to get away from the noise, ask for a room closer to the park that is behind the hotel. :)

The owner needs to address wifi/cable issues. Staff had a difficult time checking us in. Our cable went out twice and our selector was not sufficient enough to math changes . Therefore , we had to ask front desk to come to our room and address. Also, we were out for the day and our room key didn’t work. There were people down our hall that were smoking and smelling up the place . I notified the front desk and they addressed. Our room was clean enough just dated. There were homeless people lying on the side of Ty hotel and parking lot. I have a small child and he was very concerned.

We’ve stayed here many times and it has sentimental value, character, price, as well as proximity to Main Street, for us. We miss that our favorite breakfast place, The Harvest Cafe, closed. We stayed on the first floor for the first time, and since the floor down there instant carpeted like it is upstairs, we heard the cleaning carts clunking down the tiles early in the morning. Also, the sowers in this place are primitive, and there are no handicap grab bars on the shower/bathtub walls for my CP partner. Despite these few gripes, Inlove this place, especially if I can stay upstairs!

Nice enough hotel. My only complaint… they don’t turn the lights off on your balcony and the drapes don’t cover the windows/slider completely so it was shining brightly in my room all night. I asked if they could be turned off and they said no. It really impacted my sleep.
