It was very nice, we had a large room, porch with chairs to set out side, it was more than we expected. Only knock i can give them is, they said there was wifi they gave us a password but the signal was so weak that it only connected for a couple of minutes then it was gone. Went to the office, they said thy would look into it. It never worked during our stay. I would definitely stay again, but if you cant live with out wifi ,this might not be your spot.

No heat or air-conditioning despite reporting it. Room temperature in the 50's in the morning, the 80's in the afternoon. Only one window was working to open. Furniture falling apart. Window sills filthy. Driveway almost undriveable with multiple large holes.

No refrigerator in room in arrival. No towels in the room at arrival. Phone didn’t work so could not call desk from phone in room. We made dinner reservations at 7:30. We were not told it was closed. We went to empty restaurant and had to call to find out why closed. She claimed it’s always closed she had no idea it was closed. But when asked how she made the reservation it went into they are closed on Sunday Monday. But we were never told that. And have DEFINITELY dined there before. On a Sunday. We have visited often as it is USUALLY a pleasant experience. Our child goes to a near by college so we visit at least once a year. I hope they restore the better service soon.

My room had a broken glass panel in the door. Everytime you opened the door your hand ran across sharp glass. Jacuzzi tub did not work broken floor tiles in the bathroom. A/C still in room major draft.

The 1896 House was a nice place, however, while it’s rooms were “period decorated”, it could use some updates. It was clean and comfortable. We loved that we were able to walk over to the restaurant, which was FANTASTIC!
The staff were very nice, helpful and friendly. Our over all stay was great.

Horrible experience! I’ll start off by saying that we booked a non smoking room and quickly realized that this room reeked of cigarette smoke- to the point that we ran out and got air fresheners soon after checking in. I also noticed there were balled up dirty socks under one bed and a Hershey’s kiss and other wrappers under the other. When I went to shower before heading out to get said air fresheners, I noticed hair on the shower walls. I called the front desk from my cellphone as the room telephone had no service to it, and I was met with extremely poor customer service, basically making excuses for housekeeping and how “they try their best”. In the end, nothing was done. One window shade had a big hole in it, the air conditioning barely worked- probably due to the filter having caked on black dust all over it- and there were cobwebs all over the room. There was old outdoor furniture piled up outside and the pool looked like it had been given up on years ago. I should’ve done more research as the pictures they post online are very deceiving. Oh, and the lady at the front desk charged us $10 saying that Expedia wants them to collect the extra $10 upon check in- I’m pretty sure she was lying, but I had no way of knowing at the time.

The room was clean and the ac worked well. There was a constant noise off and on all night that woke us often, perhaps an ac unit outside. Buckling ceiling tiles in bathroom, one lamp did not work. Some of the signs said "spa". There was nothing spa-like about this motel. No "on" button on the tv remote. TV was not local channels. No shade on one window.

As a senior I felt unsafe getting into the shower there is a deep tub and it was a bit slippery there are no grab bars. Also the water in the tub continued to drip after trying to turn it off. The toilet is very low and the floor slanted after having my knees replaced it was a challenge sitting and getting back up. The bed was firm and we had a good night sleep, area is quiet.

The place was clean and decorated ok. Refrigerator did not work properly which concerns with being diabetic. Office chairs need to be thrown out as I almost went to the bottom. But overall ok.

The faded plastic flowers in the planters and the overgrown weeds camouflaging the OFFICE sign was our first clue that we were not getting what the website promised. The smell of "old lady perfume" when we entered our room and the extremely dated decor/furniture was our second clue. We later decided that the smell must have been caused by that room having been a smoking room "way back in the day" and cleaning products trying to cover it up. This motel may have been the destination place once but sadly it is not the place we had hoped it would be! We were enamoured by the website and failed to look at the reviews!!

Stayed on the pond side. The pool looks like it hasn’t been used in years! The beds were very hard and we didn’t receive enough towels for the amount of guests we had but everything else was fine. It was clean, safe and in a nice area.
