Our overall experience was incredible. They kept us updated and made it super easy to check in. The room was ready, clean, comfortable and safe. Selfishly a Lonely Girl Brewery was right across the street. We got good food and beer. I highly recommend this place for future stays.

Our room was EXACTLY as pictured and absolutely pristine. Very stylish and comfortable! We loved the quaintness of this boutique hotel and the breakfast at the cute coffee shop downstairs was amazing!! The hotel is off the road a bit but within walking distance of some really cute establishments - wine bar, restaurant/pub with rooftop seating, ice cream parlor. We wished we could have stayed two nights!

There are no onsite staff, entry is via lock codes. Be aware that one room (single queen) has a dedicated bathroom that is down the hotel hallway separate from the room. I rented this and it is a little inconvenient, particularly if you need a mid-night bathroom break.

Loved that it was quiet and well care-for. The downstairs coffeehouse was a great option for breakfast. Would definitely return. Suggestions: Some kind of a grab bar would be very helpful for older adults using the shower. If not right in the shower, then outside of it. It's a safety issue. We found the television very cumbersome and not at all intuitive to use, and there were no written instructions. We never did get the "free channels" - which we would have liked during the DNC. We just gave up on television and watched the DNC on an iPad!

The Mill is in a good location with a popular coffee shop underneath which is very convenient. Our room #201 had a bathroom that was down the hall. Very odd. I need to pay better attention to descriptions before I book! Also the air conditioner was very noisy. My husband suspects it is low on freon as the air compressor was loud every time it kicked on. The room was small but clean and comfy.

pay attention to the little things
very nice hotel. we enjoyed staying there. check in was easy and the room was nice. however, the toilet paper roll was almost empty and there was not an extra one. we had to search the hallway to find another one which was under the coffee maker that had coffee but no cups. in spite of that little confusion i would recommend a stay at the mill.
