Property is very unique but could use some attention. Our room had chipped paint on woodwork and the color under the chips was very different than the top color so was very noticeable. Walls don’t seem to have very good sound proofing, probably because of the age of the building. All and all it was a great stay and these things are small and probably won’t affect your overall experience.

Had a issue with Expedia pay at the property option, I was charged for the first night stay the day before I got there.. and the only issue I had with the stay was the heater in the room did not work and the pillows in the master bedroom were very hard.. but other than that was a great room and a great stay, and would definitely recommend..

When I checked in, I realized that my room was on the third floor with no elevator. I am 76 and had a recent back injury, so we changed the room to a first floor room. That room was the only one being used in the building. After getting settled, I noticed that the heater was broken. Also, there was a loud squeaky pipe noise above. At 8:30 PM, it was decided that I needed to go to another room. I had to pack up and transfer to a much smaller room with no flat surface in the bathroom to put toiletries and such.

I was SO excited but left terribly disappointed. I mean, it’s basically priced as a luxurious hotel without any luxury. Our cave room was musky and smelled like urine. The flooring was slippery and unsafe. We went to the inn for a wedding where several of us got food poisoning at the restaurant! All in all it was a huge disappointment

Fun iconic place and would come back

I came here to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday with her two friends. We stayed in the Holland room. It was perfect for all of us with the two beds. The room was super cute and comfortable beds. We enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. The staff was super friendly and we had a great experience.
