Looking Glass Inn is a beautiful place! My husband and I and my two sisters with their husbands had a very enjoyable stay. We attended a wedding at Bottleneck Hotel and it was relaxing to spent time relaxing at the hotel.

This is a beautiful historic building in a lovely, quiet and neighborhood. The home is over 100 years old and as much of the original decor and furniture as possible has been maintained. Needed updates, such as a large shower stall, were well done. Each floor has a butler's pantry where you have access to a refrigerator, hot and cold water, variety of beverages, and free microwave popcorn. I thought the Continental breakfast was excellent, including juice, fruit, hard cooked eggs, yogurt and a large variety of breads and pastries. However, my husband was very disappointed that there were no cooked offerings. The innkeeper recommended that we go to the Tinker Street restaurant for dinner. It was within easy walking distance of the inn so we didn't have to deal with moving the car and parking. It was a wonderful recommendation. We had a peach and burrata salad, crab scampi, and their signature dessert homemade ricotta donuts. It was all excellent. Our only concern about the Looking Glass Inn is that we thought the room might be too warm at night. Although the shared areas of the building were air-conditioned, the rooms are not. And we were unable to open the window to get fresh air. Fortunately, by evening the outside temperature had dropped enough that it wasn't uncomfortable.

Very nice overnight stay.

We had a delightful overnight stay. Our room, the Willow room, was both elegant and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The cold buffet breakfast provided a nice start to the day.

I liked the room. It was spacious. I didn't have any hot water for my shower. In their guest book it said their was free popcorn and drinks. But the innkeeper said that's no more.

For the price, it's probably underwhelming, but has its charms and downfalls. Cool old building, but lacks the comfort of modern convenience, such as air conditioning, good lighting, sturdy comfortable furniture, or plentiful outlets. Emily was awesome, but the first desk manager we spoke to was less than helpful when we inquired about a fan for our 85-degree room, saying the weather was "cooling down" and they'd "look into it". Which they did not. Again, cute place if you want history and are willing to sacrifice some comfort and convenience, and Emily was sweet.

The property was beautiful. A house that was built in 1805 it doesn't get any better then that. The Willow Room is the best....blue and positioned in the front of the house.

Friendly Innkeeper

The innkeeper was friendly and the property was nicely decorated. Breakfast was your standard continental. The flooring on the side entry is in need of replacement and I wished we had the mini fridge in our room because I forgot to go down the hall to retrieve my food from the mini fridge when I departed. Rooms were very today but sheets are scratchy.
