    We enjoyed our stay at Mario’s and hope to return sometime. It is a wonderful “get-away” experience.

    Poor outdoor lighting.

    The inn is historic and very charming. Great for those who appreciate the atmosphere of a “non-chain” hotel. I found all staff to be very friendly and helpful. The only point of improvement I would suggest is better lighting for the outdoor walkway and parking. I felt quite un-easy walking to and from the entrance in such dim lighting.

    Very difficult to find in the dark. Had to call to get better directions. The parking lot was dark along with the walkway. The second night they did turn on the lights but it’s still pretty dark in the actual parking lot. Also we were not expecting three flights of stairs. I have a bad back so carrying luggage up three flights of stairs was not an option. We left our luggage in the car.

    The bed and the pillows were great. The room was spacious.

    The decor was very worn. As is expected with a historic type location.

    This hotel was conveniently located a few miles from our daughter's wedding venue. I was able to book a room the week before. Trouble with my bank was worked out within minutes of my arrival. My thanks to the front desk ladies!

    The location does not make it clear how to enter the property to reach the hotel. There are several driveways and the hotel entrance is behind the parking lot and not clearly apparent. Both Uber and Lyft did not know where to go . Clear directions into the property should be included in advertising rather than a numerical street address.

    During my stay, there was no breakfast during breakfast hours. Since I was leaving in the morning on the last day of my stay, the receptionist said there would be coffee and a muffin for me. There was coffee, but nothing to eat. Slight disappointment, but an effort was made. the rooms were full of atmosphere, but no reading light. All employees I encountered were cordial and proud of their establishment and the owners. It was a welcoming atmosphere

    I wish I had known ahead of time that there is no breakfast available. This was a downer on Saturday morning.

    The hotel is unique and fun! Rooms are very comfortable, the restaurant and courtyard are lovely. The spa is welcoming and relaxing.

    Hotel was definitely dated and didn't have very many amenities for the price,no fridge , microwave or Coffee pot as we eat out alot and have left overs or water ext. there is only 1 way in and out and lots of stairs of your on 3rd floor so don't pack alot we usually do in case. apon arrival our sink was clogged and toilet had a leak and flushed very slow as we told management it didn't seem to be a big deal it definitely is when your paying that much money we told someone at the desk and she was supposed to tell management and didn't, apparently she got called to work somewhere else ,once we notified him we were told it had to be snaked and I don't know what with toilet but we had already unpacked all our personal belongings and didn't want the intrusion while we were in or out of our room. there was never an offer of a small Compensation or a little off dinner, we have to go all the way to the back restaurant to get a cup of coffee. We have stayed several places similar . we were really excited and decided not to get spa services and pay more when already they clearly didn't care about our plumbing issues with only 14 rooms it should never have been a problem. or comfortably was not important we will not be joining again as my Husband could of brought alot of business to them you never know who's staying at your property so take care of all your customers.

    The hotel Room was a nice size, we liked the decorations and Resteraunt was nice.area was good.

    No longer serv breakfast. It added value for the customer even though it was on the pricy side. I was told Corp didn't want to pay for staff in the a.m. after covid. I was asked the day of my stay to change my plans and come earlier for my scheduled couples massage. I gave my gift card numbers over the phone to book our massages, but was told when we got there that we physically needed them to swipe. I had pics of the cards on my phone sent from my daughter since we no longer had time to go home after work. Now I need to drive a hour back to the spa to get reimbursed the $495. My massage was great, but my wife has been in pain for two days after from hair pulling at the base of her skull. It took two hours to get dinner once we sat down. 20 mins to get a diet coke. It was kind of incredible so we stayed to see how the dinner would end. It ended with uncooked cold food and a bill for almost $200 for two people. I'm 53 years old and the worst tasting food experiance is also the most expensive. The table next to us waited even longer.
