November 2025

We stayed here to attend a wedding close by and when I booked the hotel it was a far better deal than the surrounding places. Our themed room, the “bridal suite” was really spacious! It’s as big as a one bedroom apartment. It was comfy and clean. I had no idea that the hotel had history of being haunted before booking but had no problem (and thankfully no visitors!) 😂 The hotel itself has an old cottage feel to it. The historical artifacts and decorations are a cool touch. FYI - they only accommodate heat in the winter months and AC in the summer months. I did feel a little warm at night but with the window open I was able to sleep easier.
