The ghosts probably enjoy it but we did not

You’re thinking cute and spooky? No think mold poisoning and maybe the ceiling caving in on you. We’re usually not too picky but he did not stay the night after seeing the room… weird substance on the headboard, dust on everything as well as random screws

We spent two nights at this historic hotel and it was an experience. The hotel was old and in need of restoration. The furnishings and decor in the room were also old. The hallway was dirty and other construction material was piled along its walls. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The hotel was fine for a couple nights.

The room was clean, but it also had pealing wallpaper and crumbling plaster on the walls. No coffee in the room, but some available in the front parlor room. The television had streaming service - often didn't work. Not a terrible place, but certainly could use some updates and repairs.
Godawful

How is this place still in business?!! Yes, it has some charm and potential but, as of this writing, dilapidated & skanky. Peeling wallpaper, peeling paint, no hot water. We had a broken window pane with makeshift plexiglass covering the entire window, so no fresh air. The staff places fragrance sticks throughout the hotel to cover up mold/mildew - the perfume smell is overwhelming. PS. I rarely do reviews, but felt a responsibility to others on this one

Truly a unique experience. A bit pricey for what was provided, but I haven never stayed in a hotel quite like this one. It had the most character out of any hotel. The water did take a while to heat up, but eventually got a bit more than luke warm for the shower. Supposedly the hotel is haunted, but unfortunately I did not have any experiences.
