My worst hotel experience ever!!!!!

A really bad experience, nobody to be found in the reception area to check in. Took them more than an hour to start check in process for many people already waiting. Rooms are filthy, in really bad shape and stenchy. Pool area was a disaster with mold and dirt in the water. I decided to leave with NO reimbursement as they denied returning my money. !!!! HORRIBLE PLACE TO STAY !!!!

The history of the hotel, as well as the location, was great. The gentleman who checked us in seemed to be in charge of everything, including breakfast, which was great. He was friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

It was very comfortable and I felt like I went back in time. The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast was prepared there in the hotel and was delicious. The pool was clean, and it was very affordable. I enjoyed the five day stay.

The room was old school, but it is a Historic hotel. It was dusty. Concierge was friendly but super busy. Power went out one night and cable was out for two nights. Fantastic bathroom. Nice pool. Great price.

Lovely location, perfect for attending concerts at Ironstone in Murphy’s. Cost was good. Breakfast was okay. Seems like staff is overwhelmed with the amount of work it takes to run a hotel in a busy tourist location and will do better when they can afford more staff to do non-essential things like cleaning the ac filters and replacing dead plants. I love the fact that they’re not a generic grey corporate motel.

This is a quirky 1850's building and has lots of charm. There are lots of stairs! Not great for old ladies who are challenged by them. The room was comfortable and quiet but the breakfast didn't have many options for lactose free restricted diet. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The property has plenty of vintage charm and low prices. The staff was pleasant and check-in was a breeze. The bed was comfortable. However, the room we stayed in could use several repairs and paint. There were broken chairs and dead plants all around the property too. There was quite a bit of highway noise as well, which I suppose I should’ve just expected since it’s on a major thoroughfare. Also, the pool had not been treated in quite a while based on the algae build up. We skipped it on a very hot day. Lastly, one of our pillows had a dirty foot print on it. We are not very picky at all, especially when the price is right, but I thought others should know some of these details.

There were literally ants EVERYWHERE. Every morning I woke up and killed at least 30 of them. Upon check-in, the man working the front desk also asked a lot of extremely personal questions about my plans and whereabouts, all of which I did not answer as a early 20s young lady for OBVIOUS safety reasons. The pool was extremely murky water, I didn’t get in, and there were people that hung around the pool smoking every night and morning that I was present at the hotel.
