The room was clean. All the outlets worked and the shower is nice. There are several nice restaurants in a walkable distance. I'd suggest letting the staff know if you will be arriving past 5pm. Check in and check out was very simple. I did not get to sample the breakfast as I was out before it even started.

Clean, cozy, comfortable

We loved our stay William Watson. The building is steeped in history and our room was very cozy with exposed brick walls and antique furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but please be aware that there is no elevator. We were on the third floor and had to haul our suitcases up the very narrow staircase. It was not a problem for us but certainly could be for some.

A very nice, well-maintained historic hotel. You’re not going to get all of the spaciousness and amenities associated with a new-built franchised hotel, but that’s not why you’re staying here.

We loved our stay here. An 1838 building tastefully renovated. Comfortable bed, nice shower. Keys are at the desk for you when you check in - very casual - but we were fine with it. Hold by a nice family. We didn’t see staff very much, but they were just a phone call away. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

A Hidden Gem

This is the most quaint and precious little boutique hotel. It is located right on the square. My room had a perfect view of the local city hall. Both the lobby and my room were decorated with original time-oriented pieces. I absolutely LOVED this place and will definitely stay here again!!

Super cool place! We stayed on a weekday so it was nice and quiet. Room had a TV, mini fridge, microwave, and shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/towels. The bed had a cover and the room was clean. Found a yummy breakfast place nearby. Overall a great experience! Thank you

This is a historic hotel built in 1838 and located on the main square. Abraham Lincoln used to wait here for verdicts to come back in the courthouse. It is old and charming. If you want ultra new, this isn't the place. Great coffee shop catty corner to the hotel. It also served lunch and breakfast, and there is another diner on the square. Staff are helpful and accommodating.

Michelle

Liked: Cleanliness
I like the character of the place especially the exposed brick. The furniture is such a mishmash of styles which is fine if they work together but this didn't. For example the bench and the table in the kitchen area were great and fit into the old fashioned feeling of the room but the two metal chairs didn't go at all. The lamp in the kitchen area was awful. The top of the toilet tank didn't fit. There was no one at reception, just the key and paperwork and the rooms aren't numbered so it took some time to find the room. For the price of the room I expected a bit nicer. Paying more attention to little details would make the place better.
