Spent one night on our travels and were very pleased with the Downtown Hotel. Loved the enclosed space, made it easy to get to our 2nd floor room out of the elements. The “gathering space” was a nice touch. Quiet, clean, super comfy beds and perfect TV reception. Highly recommend!

Overall good. There was no bath plug and the hot water was really unstable (sometimes it randomly turned burning hot or freezing, really unpleasant). Beyond that, it was a fairly good hotel.

This is a nice hotel in a great location. The staff is wonderful, very helpful. The rooms are a little overcrowded because there are two queen beds in each room and little room to get around. Parking is OK. It is mostly in a lot across the street.

Very nice stay at this property! Was surprised to see that they had a portable air conditioner in the room. So that helped out a lot as it was warm that weekend. Clean and historic building in the middle of downtown. Thank you!

A good spot in a really good town.

The hotel was good. It’s not to the level of big city hotels but fits its surroundings well. Beds were comfy and it’s located in the middle of town, a 5-10 minute walk from everything. Oh hotel staff was good. Every person I dealt with had a smile on their face and made you feel welcome. I stayed at the Downtown a number of times and am always satisfied when I leave

Great stay and staff were quite accomodating of us having 2 dogs with us. Rooms are small but cant complain. Centrally located in town and did the sour toe shot plus had some other drinks in the saloon. The obly complaint would be the very high price and zero breakfast included
