Disappointing/Poorly Operated
Arrived at 8pm on a Friday night, no one at front desk, keys left out. Entered room to find it not cleaned. Took over an hour to get someone to help. Eventually got a second room that was clean. Many others complaining of no clean towels, tv not working, and general poor hotel conditions. Would not recommend.

Perfect location. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. Good for the money. The room needed vacuuming. But the bathroom and everything else seemed clean. Perfect location. Three minute walk to Mirror Lake. Would like a room with a fridge next time. No bar soap, just a few samples of shampoo and one sample of body wash. There is no front desk personnel whatsoever. You're on your own when you arrive if you need any help with the room, etc.

The front lobby is quaint . The tv and internet took awhile to get to work. The bed was good . It took awhile for the heat to warm the room . The bathroom was icy cold but it was clean. Took awhile for hot water. The lamp plugged up under the bed and it was unplugged in order to run extension cord to air conditioner so I had the change that. I ve never stayed somewhere that didn’t have a frig .. I overlooked that and this left me unable to keep my husband’s insulin in the fridge:( . We slept fine . And it does have some charming features .

Furniture/room is decades old. Wallpaper peeling, mold behind. Lose (and sharp) tiles in bathroom floor (obviously a hazard for bare feet). Sheets were not cleaned. No staff at desk. And NO HOT WATER. Absolutely atrocious.... Trying for refund, as I had no shower/clean bed.

I listed the good things about the location above. The one really nice thing about the place was the spacious lobby and parlor with a wraparound porch. Also, there is a restaurant in the same building which is nice if you don't feel like walking down the hill to town. However, the building is sorely in need of a facelift and renovation. The bathroom furnishings are decrepit, the blinds fall down if you try to adjust them, there is mold on the window frames, the rug is badly stained and discolored, the windows are as thin as can be, leaking cold air and making it sound as if the windows are open as traffic goes by. The walls are thin so sound travels from neighboring rooms. No-one was ever seen at the front desk, literally. The keys were in an envelope and only a telephone number to call for help. I wanted to find out how to work theTV or get an extra blanket for the bed but no-one was around to talk to. It was the worst hotel I have been in since Guatemala, years ago. I don't recommend it unless you are planning on crashing there after a day on the trail or returning from a bar cruise downtown. Not comfortable, tight room.

Frightening stay
Room was not clean! Half the light bulbs were blown. Outlets were scarce and not accessible. Never saw a person the entire weekend to ask any questions or get direction to even find the room. Television didn’t work and was not in the main bedroom. Felt creepy. Wallpaper was falling off the walls. Maybe with renovations it would be fine. The restaurant seemed hopping although I didn’t eat there.

It's an old building that needs some updating; but it is also one of the beauties of it. Yes as people mentioned things are old and there are some updates that need to be made. It is odd the way check in was done; but it worked. I did find it over priced; but It was clean, just old; and served it's purpose and was comfortable. People made it seem worse than it actually was. Location wise is perfect; walking distance to everything.

Dirty carpet, peeling wallpaper that looked dated 60 years. Musty 30 year old window air conditioner that the filter had to be washed in the bathtub. ripped curtains and a clothes iron print burned into the carpet. The elevator has been apparently out of service for such a long time that they put decorations and tables in front of it and I would of liked to not walked up stairs because I injured tendons around my knee requiring crutches. I would assume that would be an ADA failure especially when you have stairs required to get to every room. No on-site hotel attendant so everything was done by leaving room keys on a desk which would of been interesting if someone that isn't a paying visitor just picked up a few keys and stayed in a room unannounced. When you needed things like toiletries you had to wait hours to receive them because the room wasn't stocked or inspected before hand. Empty soda bottles and trash in the table drawers. TV was not working when we got to our room. Paying over $350 for a room just to sleep on a bed is a bit over price.
