Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I was very excited to try this hotel. The old courthouse is beautiful and the room is very clean and comfortable. However, it is impossible to rank this hotel highly due to the absolutelyshocking amount of noise experienced when trying to sleep. I know it’s not uncommon to hear noise through the wall at a hotel, but this is the worst experience I have ever had with this. The noise flows freely through the walls, the ceiling, outside the door of the room. You could hear the details of every movement, every footstep of the neighbors, even a toilet flush. I had earplugs but that did nothing to help. It was so disruptive. We hardly got any sleep the first night we were there. The second night was a little better because I think there weren’t as many guests, but we could still hear all the details of the room next door. This hotel desperately needs to attend to the sound issue. It’s very nice, but this is not a place I could ever stay again and I can’t recommend to others because it is so disruptive.

We didn’t have a proper shower head for taking showers. Daily check into the hotel is at 3:00 pm but when we got to the hotel after 3 pm we were told the room wasn’t ready. They eventually told us it was ready. Our room wasn’t cleaned after the first night and we also ended up calling for bath towels late at night. We felt we weren’t getting to what we paid for to stay in the hotel.
