Guest Reviews & Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, perfect for two adults and a child. The staff was delightful, always ensuring a marvelous stay. The location was convenient, allowing us to explore downtown easily and enjoy the beautiful outdoor space. The dining experience was good, with delicious locally-made pastries and fruit. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, with a large layout that opens out to a patio and features charming antique furnishings. The service was very welcoming and helpful, making me feel right at home. The location was perfect, just a block away from Main Street, allowing easy access to shops, restaurants, and the train station. The dining experience was consistently delicious, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is ideally located just a block off the main street, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being close to restaurants. The rooms, although slightly smaller, feature a convenient kitchenette without some basics like plates and cutlery. The service is excellent, with staff eager to please and accommodate late arrivals. However, the dining options are limited, featuring a daily hot specialty. The facilities are well-prepared and cater to the needs of guests.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although lacking in comfort and size, were impressively clean and quiet for a good night's sleep. The service was top-notch, with very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. The location offered an ideal setting for exploring the downtown area and enjoying various complimentary amenities. However, the dining experience, while efficient and quick, had limited options, and the facilities could use some improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a lot of old western movie memorabilia, and I loved the annex location that provided easy access to the lovely side courtyard. The staff was exceptionally helpful and took great care of us, despite a small hiccup in room location initially. The location was perfect, allowing us to park our car for the entire trip and easily walk to downtown restaurants and shops. The dining experience across the street was amazing, with both continental and full options available.
