The one thing we didn't like was the inability to adjust the fan. Everything else was very nice.

We love the tranquil feeling of the Hotel. We do not like upstairs. To dangerous for older people. It was our third stay here . We will be coming back in April, if not sooner.

We liked the Upham for its old-fashioned, comfortable, quiet qualities. When we requested a switch to a quieter room facing in, not out, we were swiftly accomodated. On the negative side, the self-serve breakfast was paltry, bvare minimum. We were awakened each morning by the garbage pick-up at 6am. When I dropped pills on the bathroom floor, you can't imagine what I saw under the sink or commode!
