Just stayed for a night but would have gladly stayed longer. It was quiet and cozy and they went the extra mile to make me feel at home and comfortable. My room had a huge jet tub which was very relaxing.

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.
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.
A lovely property with one big problem: the HVAC system emits a loud, high frequency droning noise that is inescapable on the second floor. Thankfully, the innkeeper was able to relocate us to the one bedroom available on the first floor, where we escaped the noise and had a good stay. The neighborhood is lovely, the location is convenient, breakfast was good, and street parking was easy to find.
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.
This is our second stay and we loved this room too! In fact 2 other members of my family stayed here and we got to see other rooms - which were lovely. This is just a great, cozy, family-friendly place to stay.
I had a great experience while staying there. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area. Easier to get in and out of then downtown hotels. Mins away from downtown.
Super charming and comfortable accommodations. Staff was great, wifi was fast, loved the snacks available late night, and breakfast was very nice. The staff recommended a restaurant an 8 min walk away and it was also excellent.
The staff was great! They knew we were in town for a concert and they made it extra special by playing the artists music during breakfast and gave us each a small gift.
