An historic building in the heart of town, but is in dire need of renovation. Our room was dated and in need of fresh wallpaper/paint, as were the hallways, which were musty, felt dirty.

The young woman with long hair who works the front desk in the morning is great. I wasn’t impressed with the evening staff. I asked for items I needed and they didn’t send them. When I finally went downstairs they got me the towels and Tp but didn’t speak to me. I felt like I’d disturbed them. Not steller.

Pleasant stay
We always enjoy our stays at The Varscona, but would really like the hotel to replace the in-room coffee makers; they are awful. I would recommend a regular Keurig machine.
