Noisy Frank Sinatra party going on for hours, could hear it in our room. Front desk staff was blowing her nose while talking to me. Dining room staff was slow and didn’t know what some of the items they were serving even were. Meal was overpriced. Guest rooms are charming but very tired furnishings. The whole place needs a refresh and deep cleaning.

2 months ahead, I tried to book through property reservation system & was told the rooms I wanted weren’t available. Had to go thru Expedia to get the 2 rooms (they had them). Hotel was nowhere near filled so I don’t understand why I had to go through you. I was nervous I would be overcharged as this just happened to a friend who booked through Expedia at a motel in Georgia.

The hotel was beautiful inside and out. The landscape and flowers were incredible! We loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the large porch. And the food in the restaurant was exceptional! I highly recommend staying at the Historic Boone Tavern.
