Fun unique visit.

This was a great trip to a great city. The service and food were very good. The rooms very comfortable and unique. The staff made every effort to make us comfortable and meet our needs. Breakfast was served alfresco with other guests. Breakfast was not just typical hotel fare. It was very delicious and a fun experience.

careful where you step

Breakfast was in the back yard; the yard had several rabbits running loose, to get to the pavilion where breakfast was served you had to cross the lawn where the rabbits freely, the lawn and surrounding aeras of the yard was littered with rabbit droppings a unsanitary condition let alone an unappetizing place to be served breakfast The entire place could use a great deal of professional maintenance and general upkeep along with clean-up of the rabbit pellets

Good experience at the Jailer's Inn

We had a fun stay at the Jailer's Inn! Location is excellent, breakfast was delicious both days we were there, SUPER comfy bed, and great tour of the jail included in stay! It was very cool - hard to believe the jail was operating til 1987, I think, not so long ago! The room we stayed in was nice, but a little musty. But overall, had everything we needed, was a good experience, would stay here again.
