Max from Thistle Inn was especially helpful in quelling my nervousness around getting in to the room, super easy in the end. Just know that he sends the email morning of with info, not 72 hours prior like it says on the hotels.com info page. Had a great stay after a gardens aglow excursion!

Run down
The room was freezing and to very long time to warm up. Sheets clean stiff and uncomfortable. The door to the bathroom the trim on the floors nails sticking up and could rip a bare foot. Over priced for this time of year and could use some sprucing up.

Dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty
Probably the dirtiest hotel room in which I've stayed. Immediately upon entrance I started taking photos of how disheveled unclean and unacceptable I found the room.. fingerprints all over the surfaces at least a year's worth of dust on the air conditioner vents. Spiders in the corners. No deadbolt no chain a poor quality door knob and lock who knows how many people have that key? Didn't even have a toilet paper holder. 100% not ADA compliant or accessible by a wheelchair with extremely steep steps. No way for an elderly person to get their luggage upstairs and no one there to help you.
