The property is well kept for a building built in the 1930’s. The space is a bit crammed, but somewhat charming. The staff is amenable, courteous and helpful. Location is convenient in respect to nearby attractions.

Local find!

Really enjoyed an alternative to a hotel chain stay. Walking up a flight of stairs was not an issue. There wasn't quite enough table seating for everyone at breakfast but others sat on sofas with a coffee table. The hosts managed our unexpected late arrival due to weather and emailed my receipt due to my very early departure. Comfortable room and bath and very reasonable price!

Staying at this SMALL quality historic hotel was far more enjoyable than staying at a modern chain hotel. Breakfasts and evening social hours were shared with super-friendly staff and a small group of others staying at the hotel. Staff and other guests gave great information about museums, events, restaurants, etc. A streaming stick could be used with the TV, ours was a Roku TV. Short walk to downtown restaurants, shops, museums, markets, and events. Room had a refrigerator and fast charging (2A) USB ports. I believe the hotel is owner operated, which is a plus.

The Inn on Third was a wonderful experience in every way. It’s a very charming hotel with immaculately kept comfortable rooms that have retained the character of the early days of the hotel, including vintage furniture, accessories, and photos. The owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating. We look forward to visiting again.

Comfort and ambiance from a bygone era

This is truly an Inn. An older hotel which has been updated but they kept all the quaintness and hominess. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Everything was very clean and comfortable. A true gem centrally located in downtown.
