We had a great stay at this historic old hotel! The staff was super friendly and the hotel retained many original features from the 20's and was very charming! "Breakfast" was not much of anything, but it was a good value even without the breakfast.
This hotel continues to be a great spot to stay. The rooms are always spotlessly clean and that staff are pleasant and helpful. I stayed one night, on Dec. 30, and it was busier than usual, but my accommodations were perfect. I can recommend this little gem to anyone looking for a quiet room in a small, friendly town.

Charming old hotel with great character and modern amenities. Always love to stop here.
Beautiful older hotel - well maintained and exceptionally clean. Would highly recommend... just don't expect much for breakfast options (I didn't and that was fine with me). Great launchpoint for Back of the Dragon heading northbound.
