I didn't care for this place, but I at least get the appeal of it, at the same time. It's an old hotel and there is plenty of charm here, but at the same time, it just feels old, and that you're paying for the popular and historic oldness. I was put out that we tried to get a room on the spot, but that the owner put on an annoying act like she wasn't sure if any of the 20 or so rooms were available, and that she had to check the computer, even though it ended up that maybe only 2 or 3 of the rooms were booked that night, including us! Come on! Our room was the cheapest type, with a shared bathroom, and it was a very small room. The historic charm included an old, very springy, mattress and some very old and dirty wallpaper of several excavated layers, and an awkward and low sink in the room that just served to get in our way. It felt dilapidated and cheap. Also, the Dish TV didn't work, either, and I was too tired to bug the owner to get it working. The room felt insecure, with an inadequate lock that barely latched, and any noise from the hallways carried easily into the room. There's a book store in the hotel and an antique store next door, if you're into the whole old thing. I didn't make it to the antiques, but the book store was pretty nice. Not everything old is good, I say. You might say otherwise, and I hope that your stay is nicer. read more
