    Little bit of creaky floorboards, but that’s to be expected in “historic” hotel”

    Everything! The room, the cleanliness, the beds were amazing! The staff is wonderful! The breakfast, and happy hour are terrific!

    Only downsides were that the floor was very creaky and it could use some sound insulation.

    We loved the friendliness of the staff, the location, and the fact we could get a pet friendly room. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed happy hour too.

    Parking was a little tricky at first, but we found a free lot just around the corner.

    The history and preservation of the hotel was impressive! It was such a quaint and nice hotel that was super clean. We were able to walk to most destinations. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and would definitely return!

    The only thing I didn’t like was the fact there were no chairs in the room to sit on. There was the bench at the end of the bed but that was uncomfortable after awhile. Other than that, no complaints.

    Breakfast was excellent and the staff was very accommodating in meeting our needs on what we wanted.

    Original wall art is probably due for a swap out.

    We were going in sight unseen to this Historic Hotel (historic can mean many things...). The entire experience was delightful. We had played golf at HawksHead but were eager to watch the Derby and settled on New Holland distillery about 15 steps from the hotel - perfect. Then had dinner out and could just walk back. Free parking overnight. Free hot breakfast in the morning. Squeaky floors, tiled bathroom from 1920's or so, radiators - just like the house I grew up in. Felt at home. Still had plenty of chargers, outlets, fridge, space. I would come back for sure.

    The property was great. The staff was amazing! We checked in Friday evening and upon conversation with the staff, we had mentioned that our son was getting married Saturday on North beach. We were not aware at the time, however, one of the individuals we were speaking with happened to be the owner, and he came back Saturday morning and brought his ATV vehicle for my son and fiancé to use for the entire day on Saturday! We were blown away by the gesture, and at how amazingly kind all of the staff were. The breakfast was also amazing, made by the staff themselves and there was so much to choose from. Absolutely highly recommend this hotel and we will be back.

    Dear friends, I just wanted you to know how wonderful my stay was. It’s not like any other place I have ever been. It was such a unique experience. It felt like family. The guests and staff were so friendly and welcoming. You can sit next to anyone and feel like you were long time friends. I did not expect what came with my stay. The mystery theater involvement with the guests, the fabulous lasagna dinner, cocktail hour and morning breakfast, so amazing. I will definitely be making an early reservation for New Year’s Eve next year. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Mary Conley
