Nice property but very noisy

It is a lovely property but smallish rooms. Be warned, the room next door had their TV on and it was very loud/could here it through our walls making it difficult to get to sleep. No dedicated parking available, you'll need to find your own on the street.

Beautiful, old building with thick cement block and brick walls which made it very quiet. Pretty carpet and furnishings in the room. Much nicer than the seemingly sterile, standard chain hotel.

Doing the bare minimum but charging the maximum

The heater in the room made rattling weird noises and was clearly falling apart. Despite two phone calls over two days and promises that engineering would fix it, it was never fixed and I constantly woke up. The bathroom also had pink mold in the corners.

Coffee

We had a great experience. The only thing that was disappointing was that coffee was not available in a simple way. We had to wait in line for at least 20 minutes to get 2 cups of coffee to go. We have been staying at The Homestead for years and coffee has always been complimentary and readily available. Not sure why this change was made but we hope this returns to complimentary coffee again. We don’t mind paying for it but it definitely needs to be more convenient.
