Only stayed one night. Sheets were very wrinkled and poorly cleaned. Pillow cases had holes in them. Breakfast was all gone before we could get any. Very old building that has been poorly attempted to renovate

Uhhhh....nope.

This is a historic hotel, I didnt expect modern, but expected charm and reasonable comfort. Waited 30 min in lobby, rang bell several times, no desk clerk to check me in. Room numbering was confusing and lots of stair climbing. No fridge or microwave (not unexpected, given the age of the hotel). TV remote did not work, could not change channel or adjust volume, had to unplug to turn TV off. Standing water in shower over my ankles, very slow drain. Toilet NOT BOLTED TO FLOOR, rocked side to side alarmingly. Gap all around door, showing daylight. Wall unit AC was kind of adequate, but blew air directly in my face in bed. No USB outlets for charging phone -- again, older hotel but could be solved with a desk lamp with USB ports. Room seemed *kind of* clean, but had a dingy, grungy feel and I didnt want to get between the sheets, so I slept in my clothes and left the bed made -- almost considered going to sleep in my car. Yes, it was that bad. Went down to get breakfast in the morning, at least coffee, but another guest who said she was a retired nurse, whispered, "Don't trust that food in there -- he was scrambling the eggs last night, and I saw a lot of that stuff was left out from yesterday." I have two more concerts to attend in the area next month but DEFINITELY won't be staying here.

Historic Stay

The queen bed was comfortable. The rooms were small, but this building was built in the 1800s. The bathroom hot water at the sink dribbled and would not shut off. Would I stay again? Yes, this was a historic building which was fine. What imperfections did not prevent us from having a nice stay.

I always stay here!

This is an older, historic hotel, and you can tell they try really hard to keep it up while preserving its history. It’s clean, and the staff is AMAZING and friendly. I always stay here if rooms are available, and get a lake view room. Location can’t be beat!

We loved the potential of this eclectic hotel. Room was great. Does have a/c but took awhile to cool down. Lots of different sitting areas to enjoy. We had to wait 15 minutes to get checked in. Had to call a number because no one was at front desk to assist us. After all day traveling and checking in around 4pm, we expected someone to be there. In the parking area, there was a wasp nest hanging on the fence and I got stung twice. We told the receptionist this to hopefully help someone else to not get stung and it seemed to fall on deaf ears. Breakfast is advertised on their website starting at 5am, fresh baked, innkeeper’s breakfast buffet. I thought that was an unusual time but thought it was great for those hitting the road early. We were told that the breakfast wasn’t until 7:30 when we checked in. I mentioned what the website showed and he kind of chuckled and said no. That was disappointing but we stayed to have coffee (none in the room nor in reception area) and a quick bite. However, 7:30 rolls around and there is NO activity in the breakfast room. We called the number again and same person shows up. He promised to make coffee and some type of food, which was obviously not going to happen quickly. We left without any breakfast or coffee, which is ok except it’s advertised differently. Another couple left also and said they had the same issue checking in. The Gunn House has great potential, but these problems and empty promises need addressed.

The room was small and had a ceiling that was caving in. The shower head was broken and a table was broken. It was overall pretty uncomfortable
