We had a good stay at Manresa Castle. The building and its history are intriguing. Amber Dawn at the front desk was welcoming and helpful. She told us to try the Blue Moose something for brunch and we liked it. Bed was comfortable. The old elevator was cool.

Bucket list!!
Interior updates in rooms. Nice lounge and restaurant, but no breakfast area only a small microwave, so bring breakfast and eat in room.
Need car.
Lots of construction noise from hospital renovations next door.
We stayed in the honeymoon suite, which was very spacious, water view, updated bathroom, and a small coffee pot. There was a lot of noise and music from the bar directly below until 9PM.
Overall spacious room with clean comfortable bed and hot shower!

The place has great inherent beauty which is well preserved and much appreciated. Consistent with the age of the place, the ventilation is inadequate by today's standards leaving the room "stuffy" and too warm on a summer night.

We had a fabulous time staying at Manresa Castle. The castle was completed in 1892 so getting inside was a little difficult because my friend and I are disabled and there are a lot of stairs to enter the building. There is one ramped sidewalk to skip the first set of stairs but there is no way to enter the main bldg without stairs. Once inside there is an elevator.
The staff were wonderful. Very friendly and helpful with anything that you might need. They even upgraded us to a larger room than we had reserved. I can't say enough good things about all of the staff, all great people.
The castle was built in the European style so some rooms do not have their own bathroom, they do have bathrooms on each floor and there are rooms available with bathrooms - pay attention when booking if you need privacy..
There is a restaurant in the castle, currently it's Mexican food and very good. It's separately run from the hotel. The staff seemed more interested in their personal conversations than welcoming patrons. We seated ourselves and then had to go get our servers.
The castle grounds are very nice, they have a beautiful garden and a huge courtyard in the back with covered seating so you can relax in shade.
Finally, it's a castle - it's world famous for being haunted! Manresa Castle has been featured on a few paranormal/ghost hunters TV shows and they do allow you to ghost hunt.
We'll definitely recommend staying at the castle.

This is a well maintained historical building that is perfect as a hotel. We really enjoyed the setting and the friendly staff.

This is an interesting historic property. We appreciated the old photos displayed in the parlor area. The location was very convenient for our purposes, as we were visiting a friend who lives nearby. My only complaint is the scarcity of outlets in the rooms in this device-dependent age we live in.

We checked into the hotel and the property is clearly very worn. The problem came with the possible dust and other airborne particles. My husband’s allergies were so aggravated that he threw up in the parking lot. We left the hotel to get dinner and he was still sick. We checked out without using the room at all. We were not able to obtain a refund because we had not given 48 hours notice. We paid well over $150 for the room. Had he not been physically affected, we would have reluctantly stayed. They need to do a top to bottom serious cleaning of the property. We have never had this experience before.

Great history! Our room was beautiful with incredible view. The only downside is that the restaurant was not open for breakfast.

Beautiful property, and it was very convenient to have a restaurant on site. The staff were all very kind and helpful. The rooms are spare, but that's part of the charm. Very glad we stayed here.

I love the Manresa Castle, love its history, had a haunting experience the first time I stayed there, not so much this time but that was fine..Looks like it has a fresh paint job on the outside and the building looks very nice, Carpets look dirty around the edges and as I get older im a bit anti carpet but I understand that it goes with the castle, decor etc..

I've passed this place several times and was curious about it. The stay was fine but felt expensive for the price I paid (it was high season). The bed was really soft but there was DirectTV so I could watch Olympics. It was a 3 flight walk to my room; I suppose there was an elevator but I wasn't directed to that. It also didn't seem to have good handicapped access to the entry.

Interesting old building with a varied history; I often seek out converted period homes instead of purpose-built motels/inns, and this fit the bill. The downside is the challenge of adding electrical wiring to a 19th century building for the 21st century, and inconsistent furnishings: the room is big enough for a couple of comfy chairs and a wardrobe, instead of the one wooden chair and small table. Lovely big bathroom though!

Property is very unique and interesting. Staff was kind and attentive. Rooms were simple and decently comfortable. Room smelled a bit musty but running the fan and opening the window aired out the room quickly.
Big issue was that there was an odor of sewage going into the room that kept us awake most of the night. Opening the windows and keeping the bathroom ventilation fan on did not help.
Also note that rooms do not have air conditioning. It was cool during our visit so temperature was not an issue for us.

It was not expensive. It did not have a view as advertised. One must climb steep stairs to get in the building. Then, I was in the third floor. They have the oldest elevator still in operation (so says the plaque.) It must be operated by the staff. If they’re busy, you wait. Not terrible—nice staff—but a little inconvenient. The shower is so small I couldn’t wash my feet. Bathroom window didn’t close so I put my violin case in front of it so I wasn’t visible to the neighborhood. Nothing was terrible, but as I age it gets more difficult to do this. I wish Expedia had a way of alerting mobility challenged people this may not be the place to stay.
