Great stay for one night with my family at this hotel. It has a charm and history that can be felt throughout the common areas.To sum it up: Pros: - Beautiful room (modern, clean, unique) - Tasty breakfast in mornings - Felt safe during my stay at this property - Family friendly & pet friendly - Friendly staff Cons: - Long check in time (only one front desk receptionist) - TV in the room is tricky to work & doesn’t offer many channels for kids

If you like unique hotels, this one checks all the boxes. It really is an old courthouse! Sadly, I can’t give it a wonderful score for two reasons, only one of which relates to something the hotel can address. That is that the front desk evening staff was new and put in a hard position with what appeared to be partial training. Also, the location is a little odd, and I kept hearing guests with cars feeling unsafe despite the fact nothing bad was happening. Did they know something I didn’t? All of that said, you will like your room, and it’s very quiet.

Property was beautiful. Love that this was renovated to a hotel. However tv did not get a signal and took over an hour for the staff to get there. By then it was 10:30 and needed a different remote to get it changed plus staff person that was not working. The hotel is amazing but believe understaffed.

This will be the last time I stay at the Courthouse two different rooms in two weeks that the ac and heat wasnt working in the rooms. Its starting to appear rundown and not maintained. Not worth the price for staying there anymore.

Matthew

87 degrees in room 8210 and the AC is broken. The rest of the hotel is cooled. Obviously just an issue with the room, certainly this should be easy to accommodate a guest. No - “sorry it’s not refundable” like what? I’m going to dispute the charge on my card seriously you can’t do that. If the electricity didn’t work in my room. Not refundable? 87 degrees is insane. I go down the road to the Delta where my room is 68. What a travesty and frankly a scam you can’t sell rooms that aren’t habitable. I will get money back, and you can keep this bad re

Loved the character of this boutique hotel. Room and bathroom were very spacious. Bed very comfortable and the room was clean. In room amenities included: bath essentials, water and a mini coffee station. Room was equipped with a fridge, ironing board, hair dryer and a mini heater (did not use). Very CLEAN bathroom and shower. Inclusions; free wifi with very good connection. The included breakfast was fine, it consisted of cereal, toast, bagels, eggs, sausage, potatoes and fruits. Very conveniently located!!!

I have never stayed in a cleaner hotel! The staff were accommodating and very friendly from check in to check out. The building and grounds are beautiful, and the suite we stayed in was clean and comfortable. The only minor drawback was the lack of air conditioning, but we were able to open the windows to make it comfortable. This didn’t diminish our experience at all. Highly recommend!

Will try one more time

We have stayed at the Courthouse countless times. We liked the quietness of the space. Our last visit, our room was on the lower level. Noise started at 5am, the room was located under the dining room, so footsteps, chairs, etc. You get the idea. Breakfast options have gone downhill. We had the choice of cold, hard boiled eggs, a couple of meat options and that's it! This visit was disappointing to say the least.
