It was an amazing historic house. The staff was very very accommodating. Had an issue with a room that says had a bear foot claw bathtub on both the listing site and thier actual website but was updated with a modern shower only. The staff quickly resolved my issue. Had a great time in the expansive backyard. Will be back. Thank you

Wonderful Experience From the moment I booked my stay until the day I left, my experience was absolutely magnificent! The staff was professional, friendly, and very informative throughout the entire process. Everything was handled smoothly, and I felt well taken care of from beginning to end. When I arrived, I was extremely impressed with how clean and well-maintained the property was. The service was truly top-notch, and the attention to detail made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was also very good and was a wonderful way to start each morning. Overall, I had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming stay. I will definitely be returning!

This place is one of a kind, i traveled alone and was nervous. I'm elderly and not much company I was allowed to check in early because my taxi dropped me off early. I was welcomed and shown to my room, I didn't see a television but was shown a lounge area with a television and chess board! The lounge was not far from my room but I decided to explore the area. The hotel is by the river, what a beautiful location. The next morning I was served breakfast and history by someone that was knowledgeable with an amazing smile! Just what I needed! Don't know if I will ever be able to return,but I sure would love to come back!

Highly satisfied with my stay at the Lily Inn. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and so peaceful, a perfect place to relax after a day of walking in the city. A simple, yet highly satisfying breakfast was provided. Would absolutely stay here again if I'm ever back in this area.

Beautiful house. Comfortable beds, clean. Easy check in and out. Major dip in floor in our room and strap holding shower wall up. Oddest breakfast experience I've had in a bed and breakfast. Come down to an empty dining room with empty table. Handed plates with cold rubbery eggs, cold turkey bacon. Bagels with no spreads. Make your own coffee or tea, had to wait for utensils. Not a lot open in the area, mostly empty storefronts.
