I was looking for an independently owned, affordable place to stay and this was great! Easy check in & out. Free street parking and the restaurant downstairs was great for dinner.

This is a cute property. The room was clean and located directly off the patio. It has a quaint B&B vibe.

I like everything about the hotel on the second floor and Barbacoa restaurant below on the first floor. The owners were easy to talk with and if I were in the area I would definitely stay here again. Note: No elevator but my wife are used to stairs.

This is a very unique place to stay. They really need to get the sign up out front so it's easier for people to find their destination. However, the room was very comfortable. The bed was awesome. Very clean and updated.

Stayed here for an overnight work trip and 10/10 would stay again. Amazing faculty and the whole experience was just incredible. Very nice rooms, like a home away from home. Nice quiet town not far from St. Joseph. Overall one of the best hotels I’ve been to in awhile! They also have a restaurant below with great food and smells. All of this without spending an overpriced amount. :)

Really easy check in and the hotel was quiet enough for a really great afternoon nap and then a good nights sleep after visiting with our friends in the area! Comfy bed for sure! Single room is small but it really has all you need! 😎 We will be back for sure.

We live the age of the building have been built in 1874! The rooms are SUITES and stocked complete with dishes, silverware, cups and glasses… NO PLASTIC! Mini refrigerator, microwave/airfryer, coffee maker, stovetop, beautiful cabinets with soft close. The color decor is gorgeous with dark wood and original doors, there are 7 suites upstairs and think back 100 years ago, this hotel housed 18 rooms! We had room 201 with footed bathtub and the bed was very comfortable! Great stay! Restaurant offers breakfast, not to be missed!! Thanks Dave!!
