The mansion itself is beautiful and well maintained. I think they did about as well as possible, but it's not possible to update an early 1900s house to all the modern amenities. The internet was spotty and the layout awkward. One thing that really needed work was the bed. It advertises \"premium bed\" and it was definitely not premium. Whenever we got onto the bed or moved on one side, it sounded like the bed was going to break. This could easily be fixed, so hopefully they do that soon. We did like the Frame TV in the room and all the various seating areas inside and out. Also, coffee and pastries in the morning were a nice touch. If you want a unique experience, this place is worthwhile. If you want modern amenities and comfort, it may not be the place.

Everything here was fantastic! The mansion itself was stunning, and even the Carriage House had its own bit of charm. One thing that I would love to say to the property owners, is that the shower in the Equestrian Suite did not have functioning hot water. Not sure if the hot water was shut off, or what. Please look into it! Other than that, our stay was fantastic!

The access code for the outside door was not clearly stated in the material sent (unclear if the access code was supposed to open both outer door or room door)
We had to access customer support and they were VERY kind and extremely patient.

Make sure you leave time in the am for the little breakfast with pastries and coffee.

Other guests were quiet and almost reverent of the beautiful space. The decor was charming!

We stayed here for a mini-vacation in the Selena room. The building is absolutely beautiful and the rooms are thoughtfully designed and very cozy. For those that may have not packed shampoo, etc., the hotel supplied options were great. Morning pastries and coffee were absolutely delicious and the building was overall quiet despite having a handful of rooms filled. Really appreciate the parking, too!

It is an older building and they’ve done a good job of maintaining the antiqueness of it. For example, we had a clawfoot tub that was ever so slightly wobbly, and the hot water spout in the bathroom sink dribbled water ever so slightly. Not enough to ruin our trip whatsoever, but just something to go into your stay knowing that minor things like this may be a possibility.

The room and house were wonderful. I do recommend small cork disks under the tubs clawfeet and the bedposts to protect the floor and less sound when the tub expands. There is left handle on the Southwest window that should have new screws applied as well.
Overall the room/stay was fantastic! Though we did wonder if we could have bought bath bombs or bubblebath there because we had forgotten to buy some at Walgreens.

Spectacular, immaculately maintained historic mansion. Suite (Vermillion) was on the 3rd floor, so pack light and/or have a pack mule Billy goat to carry your belongings. Well worth the climb. Spotlessly clean, historic details, the most comfortable bed and pillows, huge bathroom with Vermillion green tiled shower and massive sink. Huge closet with fridge and microwave and plenty of room to store luggage and coats. Could easily get accustomed to early morning coffee and pastries in the sunroom or on the front porch. Though the mansion was fully booked, we only ran into one other guest during the 3 days of our stay. A remarkable place to stay and will return again and again!

Had to take off shoes at lobby, then walk up to the 3rd floor. This was apparently to preserve the the wood floors, but i was kind of puzzled, because they were of very ordinary quality, with no inlays, or anything distinguishing about them to speak of. A map or directory at the lobby would've been nice to direct us to our room, which turned out to be on the 3rd floor. The room was nice, as was the bed. Breakfast was mediocre. Pastries were something that you would get from a 7-11, and the coffee was basically colored water. The cappucino machine was broken, so it's not like there were a lot of options.

The main rooms downstairs were magnificent. Lots of ornate wood and metal work(floors aside).

I missed the human touch that you would get from a regular B & B.
