Super cozy set of buildings, best bed I’ve ever slept, normal size towels (instead of tiny hotel ones), very safe area with plenty of street parking and about 10-15 minutes walking to downtown. The smell in the room was SO great, whatever that was. Very clean all around and has a couple balconies for everybody’s access. They offer a complementary breakfast at their bistro right across the street for $3 each person or if you want to order something else from the menu there is a $5 discount. Food was tasty! Blood Mary tho barely seemed to have any alcohol.

While I love how close this is to downtown and plenty of things to do and see, at night it is very noisy. The room was clean and comfortable, and lovely! The staff were wonderful! But it is very close to a busy highway, and we could hear trains and 18 wheelers all night. Other than hearing the traffic, we really enjoyed our stay here and plan on coming back with our kids.

This place is amazing! You can really tell a lot of love was poured in to the details. We stayed in the Margaret last night and it was spectacular. We almost canceled because the photos online do not match up consecutively with Expedia. Do not be discouraged from some of the images because it's a beautiful room. I will also add that the towels and beds are heaven

Nice historic inn. Wonderfully decorated. Still needs a little work. Our heater in our room did not work right on a cold night. Froze.. ugh. Plumbing on the bar sink was so loose we were afraid to use it.

First time staying but will not be our last. Great and quiet section of town. Cobblestone streets and old gas lamp streetlights. The buildings are reminiscent of The French Quarter with the balconies and terraces. Check in was smooth and friendly. Thanks Lily! Room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Oh, and a little haunted but that's another story. Great shower head and spa tub. And the bath towels! Huge and 100 cotton. Just class. We received coupons 2 free drinks at the bistro across the street and also a card for breakfast for only 3 bucks at the same bistro. Normal price was 15 so got 10 dollars of free beer (The food was fantastic but that's for another review) and saved 24 dollars the next morning on breakfast. That's 34 dollars in food and bev, making the cost of our room under 100 bucks! We travel down here once a year and without a doubt we will stay here again. Oh, and checkout was a breeze. Thanks Ashley for taking the time to tell us the history of the buildings and that we weren't crazy for hearing mysterious sounds.

It is fabulous! Historic house in a historic part of town. The suite was breathtaking. The free daily brunch was provided by the Bistro across brick paved street. Gaslighting lit the streets, giving a sense of nostalgia and romance. The house has a lower porch, lined with iron railings, chairs on the porch. The second floor has a veranda with the same railings and chairs along with a small table for eating or playing cards. There is no way to give all the things I loved, just visit their web page. It says so much more, and everything there is 100% accurate. Will go back again, and again.

I really like this place! They have beautiful rooms with ambiance. The rooms all have a look of their own, at least the ones I have stayed in. I would recommend this place to anyone. Can't be beat!
