Charming and full of personality, however, won’t stay again. I rented two rooms. One was fine. The other was dirty and smelled horrible, like mold. Add the fact that the AC was insanely loud and ran constantly…and the bed was sunken in the middle. Will book elsewhere next time.

Quirky property with an old English theme. A bit of a haunted house vibe. Checking in was an annoyance as we arrived at 11:45pm and the lone staff that could check us in had a car mishap on her way to work and we had to sit and wait in the lobby for more than an hour and only was able to get into the room at 1am. The staff did apologize and I understood it was out of her control but it was still annoying. The rooms were fairly clean. The staff was polite but not overly friendly.

Weekend to St Louis

The bathroom sink drain was 90% clogged. I don't think anyone has dusted/cleaned the shelf under the sink for months. The view from our room was of a flat roof with mechanicals on it and very dirty. There was a door in our room with access to roof. A small fridge would have been very convenient. Room and hotel itself was clean and pool was very nice.

A Treasure in Need of Leadership, one who cares!

This hotel has been a go to favorite of ours for years. Our last stay was bad. There was some improvement. Too many issues to list. The Staff is friendly and greets you, but there are big problems beyond. Someone with Hotel & Restaurant Management Training & Experience needs to rework the whole place over. It is a treasure that needs leadership bad. Glad to talk with an owner or GM, if they cared!

What I view as a fairly material misstep, the hotel staff reissued our room to a second guest after we were already in it. You can imagine my surprise getting out of the shower to having to rush to keep the door from opening. The staff response to their own mistake was equally poor leadership.
