Such a charming retreat steps away from all that downtown has to offer! Walkable to all our favorite spots, we enjoyed the plush, spacious suite and the charming staff at the desk and bar. Comfortable room for sleeping, large bathroom well stocked with towels, a quiet place to sit outside for the afternoon, chess and coffee in the evening, a lovely spread for breakfast—we wanted for nothing! A delightful spot to stay. We will return!

We loved Zelda's! Great location! The room was comfortable, and we slept great in the bed. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. We also enjoyed watching the 4th of July fireworks outside in the courtyard. They do have a ramp, but if you are uncomfortable with stairs, you should call to get a lower-level room.

Close to the center of town by only a few blocks yet with a secluded and restful vibe. Great characterful rooms across multiple remodeled Victorian buildings made this a memorable stay. A cosy bar, great continental breakfasts and great local scene guidance add to a 10/10 experience. Most significantly while it is not staffed 24/7 the daytime staff could not have done more to help with grace and a warm smile. Probably some of the most professional, welcoming and genuinely interested staff I have ever come across in many hotel stays around the world. Can't wait to return

Overall, great stay. Breakfast was excellent - more than continental. Check in was a little clumsy as the ‘front’ desk is actually in a separate bldg and the clerk had to check 3 separate groups in at the same time and then walk us all to our bldgs and rooms. Seems like they need an additional person working the check in area during peak times (this was ~5pm).

The visit was awesome, the staff was helpful and non obtrusive. The room, grounds and common outside areas were gorgeous and the hotel is in a great location to home base and explore from. Breakfast bites were awesome and much appreciated. The free drink voucher at the bar was a great touch.

Zelda Dearest felt like a cross between a hotel and a B&B, and we totally enjoyed our stay, Our room was one of the best we have ever experienced (I’m a room snob), and the breakfast was phenomenal (Vege Frittata, chocolate banana bread, blueberry muffins, biscuits and jam, overnight oats, berries, yogurt, OJ). I’ve done both, and I much preferred the self parking over the other hotels’ valet-only option. Depending on where your room is located, there can be a lot of stairs to traverse, same as it would be in a B&B. Staff were friendly and helpful.
