While the hotel has a great location and was cozy, the hotel add a large amount of hidden fees. I have never come across this before using hotel.com and was quite frustrated the hotel did this. I will probably book somewhere else in the future.

<$100 quality of $263 per night price tag. Good location as it is walkable to many great spots. The place had character but everything was outdated. Sunken bed, thin walls and ceilings, water pressure in the shower, soaps and shampoo…all could use an upgrade to justify the cost.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff was courteous and the facility nicely decorated and very clean. It was located within easy walking distance of many places to eat and shop. Our room, was a little of a problem though. The room was clean but…. the refrigerator did not work at all, the shower curtain fell down and couldn’t be put back up and the main lamp in the room did not have a shade on it and other light fixtures were unusable. The patio area outside our patio door was not private. Other people were using it. The ice machine was not working. There was a store nearby where I was able to walk to and buy ice.

Room was in good condition and the property has lots of cute outdoor sitting areas including one for our room. The front desk didn’t have any room keys available so I had to download an app to get into the room which was a whole process with emails and verification codes. I would have much preferred a simple room key. Free parking onsite

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Front desk is unstaffed most of the day so if you have issues like connecting to the wifi you will be out of luck. Rooms were averagely clean- didn’t have the attention to basic details like setting the time on the alarm clock or microwave. Hotel seemed empty but put me in a room closest to the Main Street so it was noisy all night. $25 fee for lost room keys (rfid card that probably cost less then a dollar a piece) seemed ridiculous to me.

Sheets were dirty. Front desk had to come to change them. One curtain was missing so my window was uncovered. There was no closet. So not even a place to hang up my jacket. Shower was dirty. If you put your fingers by the ledge, it was black. $254 dollars a night. Was a rip off. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly.
