Just spend two nights at this Boutique Bed and Breakfast, and was very disappointed. From the outside the property is charming. Once inside, the place looks very rundown and you can tell it needs a lot of TLC. Decor is a hodgepodge of old furniture, not Antiques, which one would expect for place that advertises as a Historic Hotel, but more like discarded furniture mixed with Marshall’s decor. I will agree that this is a matter of taste, and can be overlooked. But, there were many details that just told of a lack of interest in keeping the property up. All door-locks, starting with the entrance, suite door and bathroom doors, are flimsy or falling apart. There was evidence of humidity in the paint job inside our room and bathroom. Our bathroom, although very spacious, was a sore disappointment. The hand sink looked dirty even if it was clean, because it has cracks and pealing paint. The clawfoot bathtub is very narrow, and had a horrible dark grey shower curtain that makes the tub feel even narrower. It also felt awkward going in and out of the tub, as there wasn’t anything to hold on to. There are no bathroom toiletries provided, except a large bottle of Panteen Shampoo, and a large bottle of body soap, which is acceptable, I guess, but doesn’t look good in my book. The bedroom decor was again a mix of styles, from antique looking to tacky with loud AC units. The breakfast included was sugary boxed cereal, microwave oatmeal cartons, boiled eggs in a bowl inside a mini fridge, grocery store bought bagels, and mini cupcakes. Nothing was fresh, nor was it presented with any culinary intent.
I will say the place is clean, there is good hot water pressure, and we always found a parking spot in front of the Boutique Hotel.
