We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very comfortable. The owners and staff are very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the tavern on sight where we mingled with the locals heard the ghost stories about the hotel.
Sat on the porch with our coffee in the morning. Just a great place to stay. Will definitely go back.

Loved the hotel. It is charming and staff was super friendly. However it was pretty noisy (traffic noise), the shades didn’t begin to block outside lights, the bed sagged toward the middle, and the shower didn’t have much power. In spite of that I would stay there again and would recommend it to others.

Nice stay
Stayed one night after a day of hiking. Hotel has a rich history dating back to the late 1800’s, so I could really appreciate the efforts taken to preserve the authenticity of the building. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and enjoyed the stay. Owner was very nice and accommodating, and really enjoyed our conversation about the hotel. It is within walking distance to Main Street to access casinos and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

great historic hotel. I got a feel of the early 1900 staying there. Since its an old hotel, the floor boards were cricking and making noise when people were walking outside.. other then that, it was clean , very comfortable bed with soft pillows and very clean.
