My daughter and I stayed in the first floor room that was the home's original dining room, and it was so pretty with lovely wood paneling around the doors and ceiling, a beautiful large tiffany window, and perfectly chosen furnishings. I was able to see several of the upstairs rooms as well and they too were very nice. The breakfast was delicious with the best orange juice I've had in years. If we should ever make our way back to Indiana, we'll definitely stay here again. One additional note: the town of Richmond IN is FULL of gorgeous old Victorian houses that could be refurbished into veritable palaces, much like the Smith B&B. There are also charming cottages from the early 1900s. In a way, it reminds me of Savannah GA in that there are so many lovely historic properties. If historic preservation/renovation is your thing, (and you're lucky enough to be retired or to telework full time), you should definitely check it out.

This B&B is in a classy home, tastefully restored, with stained glass windows on a gorgeous wood staircase. My wife and I stayed two nights for a weekend getaway. The entire place is very clean and smells wonderful. There is a hospitality room for all guests on the second story, with a mini fridge, microwave, and water dispenser. We made use of the mini fridge and microwave to store and reheat leftover dinner. It would have been nice to have coffee available, as well as tea bags, and/or complimentary soda or bottled water. We were provided with yummy desserts on both nights - lemon sugar cookies and then pound cake. Breakfasts are good - plenty of fruit, orange juice and coffee. The entrees were a kind of quiche in a bowl and French toast. Our room on the first floor (Room 1) was cozy and clean and warm, albeit small. The size of our room didn't matter to us, because we were the only guests on Friday and could wander the house and relax in the sitting room to read on a rainy day. The B&B is within 5 minutes of several fast food, local and chain restaurants. We did not explore Richmond too much, but it seems there are nice parks in town and plenty of classy homes to drive by. Within the B&B, there are only a couple board games, but they do have satellite TV in every room. There are several DVDs for borrowing, but our room did not have a DVD player. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, which was relaxing and stress free.

We have booked here for two nights. We chose this hotel for…read moretwo reasons. First, location. It's close to a family gathering during our stay so we chose this for logistics. Second, family has stayed here before and gave the hotel raving reviews. I'm not sure why. Generally the family that gave this hotel raving reviews has a certain level of standards which I would assume would have meant more than our experience. The first room we were given was infested with flies. We killed 10 within minutes and after that 6 more just showed up immediately. So we went down and asked for another room. We were given one with a jacuzzi. No, we have no plans on haul v that and there are several reasons why. The first and second rooms are clean. But, it's clear the hotel is in a serious need of updating and refreshing. Now, I understand a few things about this location. First, it's a small town and what I assume to be a privately ran hotel. On our first night there was maybe 10 people here in a hotel that probably has 100 rooms? So my point here is income probably does not generate the funds necessary to save for dramatic improvements of any scale or variety. Being in a small town there is literally only a few options to stay unless you drive to a bigger city like Richmond closer to an interstate, etc. doing a google search I found three choices in town and this appeared to be the best. Rooms are not that awesome. First room had the aforementioned fly infestation, toilet seat was well used and worn down to what appeared to be black wood underneath. (I hope) Second and first room both had outdated and well worn and in some places town carpet. Rubber molding around the walls near floors were torn away in spots and drywall plaster was cracked or busted in spots in and around corners in bath and other places. Parking lot is dimly lit unless you park right by the building where huge wall lamps give a 1970's incandescent yellow hue of light that somehow bounces off the building good enough to illuminate the front of your car. There are light posts that are from what I can tell the size of a battery powered throw away infomercial lantern. In fact. They are positioned about 30 feet from each other on the exterior of the lot and are most certainly solar powered as they were casting no light at 6 am on anything at all. So, if lot safety is a concern of yours and what I have said already is not enough to turn you off then book away. I believe the rate per night was around $140 and that might have been with taxes and fees.. again. If you are one of three hotels in town you get the luxury of slapping a charge on a rate and seeing if anyone bites. They offer continental breakfast. But, in looking at the quality of the offerings you might be wise to choose coffee or a preserved yogurt cup. I was even skeptical of the coffee as the coffee urns on the bun coffee maker looked like the last time they seen soap and water was before dish washers were invented. I'd skip the pastries and dried cereal which looked stale.. I'd even skip the waffle maker and aerosol can of butter and syrup mix as well. Maybe go try and find the McDonald's or a Cracker Barrel even farther away.. Finally, for the smokers or the smoke smoker haters that are reading this post. This hotel most certainly used to be a smoking hotel. How the peeled off signs on the entry doors and on occasional rooms that have not yet been peeled off state its non smoking. But, as my wife has recently stopped smoking and is keen to smells that never bothered her before.. she can still smell the lingering odors in the room which shout out it has seen decades of cigarette smoke. Just bring some Febreeze and that should tame it down. First nights rest? Well, the rooms are quiet overall, I could not hear talking or television noises from guests next to us. I did hear what sounded like a t-Rex walking around in the room uostairs this morning. I assume hunting for prey for breakfast. Bed slept ok for one that has clearly seen a few decades of use. Sheets are alright. But, clearly are the low end. Comforter is well used and low end. But, it appears all was clean. However I elected not to freak myself out and dig deep on this one for usual things that would creep someone out. I should point out that front desk clerk at check in was nice. We booked through a third party website and she had trouble matching up our credit card with reservation. She was a new clerk though. We did not get the usual questions like make and model and plate number and that kind of thing. But, we did not get any arguments as to switching rooms when we brought up the fly infestation either. Almost like they knew.. But, now that you read this you can make your own choice. It certainly may will give us cause to ask family.. Why did you think it was so nice? Maybe it was at a point in the past. But, now it's just "ok" IMO.

I would recommend staying there because it is better than driving 30 minutes to a corporate hotel that will charge more.

A small workout room is available for guests. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available all day in the lobby. The Seattle's Best coffee is good. I saw several conference rooms and an outdoor patio available. A lounge is supposed to be open in the evenings, but was closed during our visit. A complimentary breakfast is served daily. The breakfast was very good with hot and cold options. My husband made a cinnamon waffle and a full plate of sausage. I had eggs with a warm biscuit. The orange juice is good. Bananas were a bit overripe, but other fruit was fresh. Note: There is an added charge for use of the safe, but we did not use the safe, so we were refunded the fee. We told the desk manager upon check out. I'm not sure why they even have this surcharge ($1.75) as it is annoying and detracts from the great stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and recommend highly.

I was told at check in that if I used the in-room safe, I would be charged $1.87. What that means to me is that I will not be charged if I don't use it. I did not use it but was charged anyway. It is just one more of those petty charges corporations tack on in order to market the room at one price but charge another. Perhaps it is silly to react this way to a $2.00 charge, but I resent it.
