Blackwell Hotel

"The Blackwell has become our go-to for a night away. It's a beautiful place that's close to home, but worlds away. It's a beautiful place that's nice and quiet. My only complaint is the matress is a little too firm for my liking, but we like it plush."

"This place has charm out the wazoo. Booked the king suite with my wife for Valentine's Day and we loved it. It's a little cold if you forget to turn on the space heater, but it was magnificent. The bed was comfy, the amenities are great, and we got to enjoy a game of pool in the lounge area. Staying here made me want an old-style house. Breakfast was at 9 am, and we were pleasantly surprised to find homemade French toast and cheesy eggs waiting for us downstairs! We ate by the fireplace and just enjoyed the atmosphere. The other guests were also respectful and nice and the staff was incredibly helpful and proactive in making sure we had a good stay. We loved it so much."

"Local who has always wanted to experience staying here, but not wanting to pay peak season prices…very disappointing. Booked ‘host choice’ for a bit more money instead of lowest price room and still got the lowest priced room when there were much nicer rooms available that they could have put us in. Bed/pillows were TERRIBLE, breakfast was okay. Have lived in and stayed at many B&Bs over the years and this one was so disappointing. Decor and furniture felt hodge podge with chrome pieces and cheap bedding/art everywhere."

"First time at the Blackwell for us. We both love old homes and we were so happy to have stayed in this beautiful and historic home. Played pool and drank wine by the fire. Location was perfect for us. Strolled down the street for dinner. Our daughter lives in Canada so I believe this will be our stopping point from now on."

"The room was not entirely clean to begin with with trash and dirt stuffed between and under appliances and furniture. An after hour guest arrived not knowing how to check in, called after hours management number with no answer or returned call... as a guest I had to help another guest figure out where their room was located and what to do. I paid for a room for myself, my adult daughter and two children to share my room while I prepare for my wedding. My adult daughter was spoken to with distain when she made a simple request of more towels. And my younger daughter and my niece were first told that they could not have breakfast because it was "only for paid guests who stayed at the hotel" and then after the children explained they were guests (11 & 13) they were told rudely to be sure not to grab too much breakfast. This was after the management explaining to me the day prior that they were not aware I was going to have children with me and did not have the breakfast prepared for that many people (even though I made it clear in my reservation to have an extra bed prepared for my daughters).. and almost charged me extra for my adult daughter to eat breakfast as if two adults wasn't expected to stay. And even though she never did help herself to breakfast .. they clearly still did not make enough to serve my two small children alone. They charged me extra for clearing out trash that we had left in a pile to easily be taken out. Apparently you must be sure to clean your own room if you are to stay here. I used to be management for this establishment under different leadership, never would I have treated guests this way and certainly as a boutique hotel would have made the experience personal and pleasant. I would have rather paid the price for a lower rated hotel, at least I would have known what to expect. Great art, beautiful ambience. Need to treat people better and be available instead of abandoning guests. There is room for improvement."
