Quaint boutique hotel with lots of history
Boutique hotel, right in the heart of Batesville. Walkable to some restaurants, a nice coffee shop, and other businesses. Beds are new and comfortable. I enjoyed meeting the owner and one of the partners and hearing about the history of the hotel.

Historically interesting hotel. The room was nice but the rest of the hotel was very dated. The restaurant and bar are closed. No fitness center.

It met my needs-'clean, quiet and comfortable with an old wprld charm. It would've been nice to have had a list of local restaurants, grocery, etc in the room along woth a mini fridge. The clerk was friendly and explained the procedure to get in/out when no one was available

Historic Sherman Inn on a Snowy December Day
Staying in the historic Sherman Inn in December was completely delightful, and a light snowfall this morning only added to the Christmas charm! Our room was sparkling clean, as was the bathroom. Simple, elegant decor, with wonderful black and white vintage photographs of Batesville throughout the inn. We enjoyed walking through the town, seeing all the beautiful old red brick architecture and twinkling lights.

Our choices in hotels is usually hit and miss. Once we stepped inside, my husband and I were amazed by the architecture. The beautiful dark wood and the old smell was what intrigued me. The smell wasn't bad, it actually brought back great memories of my grandparents basement. They were rock hounds and had turned it into a shop to sell the items they made. The room was so comfy and inviting. The service was excellent! If you're looking for a great place to get away from life, this is it!

Business trip
This is a very old hotel that has been renovated. You can tell because the sprinkler system pipes are seen overhead. That leads to the unique charm of it however.
