The place all together was very quiet and no issues. My main thing is the AC. We had an upstairs/downstairs unit and the upstairs would not cool, we all had to sleep with no blankets & that’s an awful nights sleep. The phone number on google was not up to date so trying to get ahold of somebody to figure out check in was a hassle & the number it has on the building to call if you check out before the building is open is not a working number also. The place was very cute, very quiet, & the staff is VERY FRIENDLY but for a family of six, we probably won’t be staying here again.

"For a hotel that prides itself as historic, having piped in music throughout the building ruined the ambiance. There are two hotels in one.. historic and Manor and it is confusing and disappointing. The halls in the manor were painted a putrid green and lacked any historic semblance to the lobby. ..."
