    Not every room has that old time antique charm feeling I thought they would have from the pictures. Also, the bed we had was much too soft, meaning we sunk. Also, the chair with ottoman in our room was awfully stained with fluids of some sort which had us questioning everything.

    The courtyard is beautiful! The staff is excellent, very friendly and helpful. They made us feel at home. It appeared to be clean. I love it was located within walking distance to local restaurants and shopping.

    Mattress wasn't that comfy, and bed was a little nousy due to being antique. Older home with wood stairs inside and in hall on otherside of our room with other occupants getting up at 6am and walking up and down the stairs was VERY loud.

    The beautiful old home, beautiful furninshings, the grounds were very pretty. Close to downtown restaurants and bars.

    There was an air handler in the bathroom ceiling that ran and ran and ran. Thank God for ear plugs. The shower was slow to drain. Not a huge issue, but one of my very few pet peeves. The old gal is showing some age, but you can tell she is well loved and we have an appreciation for that kind of "patina."

    An older hotel w/ a good Vibe. It's a little quirky, but as close to downtown as you need to be. Lots and lots of restaurants and such is well within walking distance. Our room, 207 was of a decent size with two very comfortable beds. The staff is just great. Very easy going and eager to please!

    Lack of simple amenities such as coffee.

    The property is not for everyone. It is furnished with older (antique) pieces and it's motif is old fashion for certain. Ideal location to restaurants and shopping. It is a shame that the ownership is not taking the necessary steps to utilize the property to the potential that it exhibits. The employees that I that I dealt with were very professional and helpful.

    This wonderful old building has an interesting layout - so the elevator (which already is great it’s there seeing the age of the building) does not go all the way to the top floor. You’ll have to take a flight of stairs to reach top floor - this does not impact 1 and 2nd floors. Kind receptionist explained directions clearly. Not a problem for us at all, but something to keep in mind when booking, if you have heavy luggage just let them know.

    Beautifully preserved old inn with tangible historic value. Lovely patio, beautiful authentic yet comfortable rooms and very close to city centre. Lovely ladies at reception - very welcoming.

    I did not like the fact that there are no amenities at all , none , no vending machines , no water , and the closest shop is 3 blocks away

    To be honest , it was very old property, I didn’t like it it to much. I didn’t know it was a historic hotel when I booked it.

    Even though it has its history and it has a very beautiful location I think it would’ve been an amazing hotel. If it was redone, beautifully with the right style and taste it should deserve.

    The air-conditioning is quite noisy at night. It was a little old needed to be re-renovated.

    The rooms are a bit worn out by now. They could use a little renovation. I'm not talking about the furniture, because it is part of the unique vintage style, but thanks to the high humidity you can smell the mold inside and it is very unpleasant. The old ventilation system is terribly loud. Do yourself a favor and bring earplugs. There is no fridge in the room, which is a pity.

    The atmosphere of the hotel is stunning. With it's colonial style it is worth spending a night here for the experience.
