Spacious rooms and walkable to good eateries

This is a handsome building and tastefully altered to become a hotel instead of a courthouse (it should have remained a courthouse forever!) My room was spacious and clean. The heating system was very quiet. The shower was simple to figure out and worked well. The cooked breakfast was decent, but the bakery items could improve. No complaints about the coffee. THe hotel could add signage to make it more obvious where the main entrance is. There were several good restaurants within walking distance.

Nice but cold room

We stayed on the 3rd floor corner suite it was really cold out and the room was freezing you could feel the air coming through the windows the should put plastic up.understand that the building is older but when you set the temp to 70 to try and heat up and it doesn't go any warmer then 63 throughout the night its not comfortable. I would stay there again but bring my own space heater lol. Also the hot water didnt get very warm. All and all it was very clean

We were able to take our dogs. The property had a large lawn area which was great to take them for a walk and let them run around. Our room was spacious and very clean. There was an event on the main floor but we did not hear anything in our room.

Stayed there for 1 night. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and quite modern, especially the bathroom. Only downside is the parking lot is a bit small but other than that it was solid. Breakfast was actually pretty decent for a hotel.

This is an old Courthouse and looks amazing from the outside and the inside. Now some rating of the good and the bad. Check-in 10/10 The lady at the front desk was amazing and super friendly. Cleanliness of room 8/10 We found sunflower seed shells between the beds, A dime on the windowsill in the bathroom, Kiss marks on the window. All could have been easily seen and cleaned. The room otherwise is super clean I have a blacklight and checked the beds, floors, walls and the bathroom and all came back clean. Cleanliness of property 8.5/10 Garbages over flowing with trash, The ashtray covered with trash, Trash on the ground around the property. Was like this for the 2 days we were there. Breakfast 4/10 Was one of the worst breakfasts we have ever had. Bacon was nasty, Sausages over cooked, French toast was under cooked, No real choices for cold drinks (water or some weird kind of juice) no apple or orange juice or milk, The muffins were hard and stale took one bite and had to spit out. Breakfast ends at 10am and the staff was cleaning and taking stuff away at 9:40 a good 20mins before breakfast ended. Checkout 5/10 The guy checking me out of our stay was very unfriendly. I'm not sure if it was because he was on night shift and was tired or if he was starting his shift and didn't get a good sleep the night before. Never asked how our stay was. Kinda disappointed in his demeanor. All and all I would give the stay a 8.9/10 and I would book the place again.
