We were able to book a room here last minute and so glad we found this little hotel that's in a mansion built in 1890. It was so clean and we love how the design and how they renovated everything with modern conveniences like a gas fireplace, A/C, and walk in shower for 2. We would love to stay here again this time.

I booked the Rio Vista Suites for a last minute trip in the area and very glad it was available. Lily is an incredible host and makes sure you’re set perfectly for your stay. I loved the attic room - it was the perfect size for 1-2 people, very comfortable and had lovely views. Would definitely recommend

Highly recommend. Overall clean and staff is friendly but often have to wait for them as they are not exactly in prem but close. Felt safe. There were some ants in bathroom and only decaf coffee available in the common area? Minor notes overall would stay again.

Margaret

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a place with real “character” – an old Victorian that retains much of its original grandeur but updated with good lighting, digital locks, modern bathroom fixtures, wi-fi, and other conveniences. The bed was comfortable, and the room was very quiet. Special thanks to the proprieter who made a heroic effort to track us down after we had checked out to tell us we had accidentally dropped an object of value in the parking lot as we were packing up the car. We had only driven as far as Davenport (10 miles) for breakfast, so we were lucky to get the call when it was easy to return back to the inn.

Heater did not work properly. Sink was decorative but provided no counter space AT ALL. On initial and on subsequent entries into the room there was a strong overly sweet fragrance (odor) in the room that required opening the windows to air out the room.
