Fantastic room, furniture and bed comfortable and newly remodeled; easy directions and parking. Really reasonable rates for such a gorgeous historical property. Staff was not on premises but probably more accessible than typical hotel staff in a regular hotel. Very responsive via text (or phone call); friendly - helpful

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room and the common area were beautiful and clean. The bed was very comfortable. And it had a lovely view out the window. 10/10 would recommend. You can hear people moving around in the other suites just a little bit (like doors closing, etc) so just be aware of that.

Very clean space and very spacious room. The home baked breakfast was delicious with ample coffee and amenities. They include Netflix on the TV. The jacuzzi bathtub was phenomenal. We didn't end up using the sauna because we forgot bathing suits but it looked great. We stayed in winter, so unable to utilize the wrap around deck, I wish it had been shoveled for use, even if somewhat cold out. Only a couple things could be improved main one - the bed was high, like incredibly so - I'm 6'2" and my partner is 5'10" and neither of us could sit at the edge and touch the floor.

Room was clean and pleasant with wonderful amenities. The only downside was that the room was too warm, and I couldn’t cool it down enough with the wall unit so I had to open the door to the deck; the pillows were also uncomfortable. Other than those two things, it was an excellent experience, and I would go back!

Very nice property. The room we stayed in the Barnum room had a very high bed. People who are not tall will need to hop up. Balcony is awesome, place is quiet and serene. Area to have coffee, fruit or pastries in morning. Will stay again.

Lovely and peaceful stay

What a lovely find this was! Our room was really beautiful but also functional and comfortable. This is possibly the first hotel/rental place I’ve stayed where the couch was actually comfortable lol. Nice quiet neighborhood, and didn’t hear any more noise from other guests than you do at a standard hotel. We will definitely stay again!

Lovely public areas downstairs, beautiful building, large and spacious room (Superior). Wasn't sure how to get Samsung/TV combo in main room working. Also came back one day to find my door open, likely because I didn't latch it properly, but not sure how that happened.
