The room was very nice and exceptionally clean. I am a Housekeeping Supervisor at a Quality Inn and two mom-and-pop hotels, so I can truly appreciate a well-maintained room. Everything was clean, fresh, and well taken care of. We really enjoyed our stay, and I have already recommended this place to my team. Great job to the housekeeping staff for providing such a clean and comfortable room—well done! 👏

It was a pleasant stay in a clean, sparingly yet comfortably appointed room. In its 'heyday' it was a very nice place with attractive and appealing architectural details. It is well maintained today and I, at 81 years of age, appreciate its vintage and comfort. I will visit again.

Cute little hotel

It's an older building so the floors are creaky and the windows are old but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The lady at the front desk was so nice. There is a train nearby that comes through a few times a night. I would definitely stay here again!

Thebstaff person was freindly, the facilities were adequate and comfortable. Yet some things in the room are old and not in the best repair. I seem to have been affected a little by allergies during the night, but don't know what it was from.
