Quick overnight stay
Check in was a little clumsy, but our guy was working his first shift alone, so we cut him slack. The building is phenomenal.

Better than a chain hotel
Great location with alot of neat small town businesses nearby. I was in the area from out of state for work and needed to park a 26 foot box truck and street parking wasn't too inconvenient. Nice room - very hotel like. No refrigerator in the room which was a small bummer overall pretty happy with everything else

New favorite hotel in Aberdeen
Clean, modern rooms in a nicely updated historical building. Rooms were very reasonably priced. We will definitely stay there again.

No hot water. No response
Hotel itself was nice and updated. However we were there for a 2 night stay and had no hot water the entire time. Sent a few messages and got no response so the lack of hot water is what prompts the negative review. Had we been able to have a hot shower this would be a 5 star review. Paid to much for 2 nights to have a cold shower and no response to messages about the situation

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the room we were supposed to have wasn’t cleaned when we checked in, and we got moved to another room that didn’t have windows. The room was very nice though. Nice bed, good pillows, nicely renovated, with the softest clean carpet.
