Beautiful historical home. But $400 a night is too expensive for a small, bare bones room

The house is beautiful, outside!! You would expect more elegance on the inside. We stayed at the Hampton inn last evening and our room here does not compare to that. This room is very tiny and the carpet should have been replaced years ago. Very sad looking.

This property was beautiful. It was quiet and clean. I do believe it is more a bed and breakfast than a legitimate hotel. The staff, specifically Deb and Julie were fabulous. They were friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. They truly did everything they could to make our stay great. The few complaints I did have were due to my own misunderstanding of the property description and issues outside of the staff's control, like the couch in our room being ridiculously uncomfortable. The area is safe, quiet, and beautiful. The breakfasts were tasty and fresh, but are all cold like fresh fruit and pastries. There are no elevators, which had I noticed sooner, would have had a larger bearing on my decision to stay here. I would stay again, but not for 7 days, and definitely not on the 3rd floor again. I would recommend this place highly and only would suggest replacing the couch and putting in larger print on each room description that there is no elevator.

This was a beautiful stay. It was very clean, quiet, and charming. The room was big, clean, and had amazing features like the molding and details on the ceiling. The bathroom was nice too. There are restaurants and entertainment close by. It was an easy process checking in and out. Very satisfied, and will definitely be coming back.

The rooms are quite small and dated and the breakfast is quite limited. On the plus side, the area around the hotel seemed very attractive with a lovely sitting area around a fountain where you could probably meet and chat with other guests. Unfortunately for us, the weather was cool and rainy so we couldn't take advantage of any of that. All in all, the hotel isn't worth the price in poor weather but might be in good.

Very nice room. Everything was clean and smelled welcoming. Front desk service was wonderful. Breakfast was great except for on the day we checked out, there was no breakfast which was annoying. It’s a very charming hotel.
