The stay was wonderful. However the stay says that it has a free traditional Continental breakfast but they give you $5 off breakfast vouchers per person. Disappointed that I didn't see or hear any ghost 👻

You certainly will enjoy the atmosphere. The old time decor throughout is exciting to see. The music on Friday was a little loud but not too bad. Overall, a great time visiting our friends.

We got the queen room, which was a bit small and the bathroom may have once been a closet. Overall, we slept better than expected, and enjoyed the convenient location. With it being an older (and very interesting) building, there's a bit of an older smell to it, and the a/c definitely struggled to keep up with the heat wave. I think an autumn stay here would be ideal.
