If you like clean bathrooms, functioning HVAC, and nice quiet bedrooms, do not stay at this hotel…read more And when you report issues to management, they have only excuses or don't bother replying. We stayed here for two nights in December. At first glance everything seemed very nice in Room 205 but then, in looking at the bathroom, I realized there was lots of dust and hair behind the bathroom door (photo). I was going to ignore it, but then we couldn't get the HVAC to work, so I went down to the front desk. The desk manager showed us a second room (same problems), a third room (same problems with the addition of brown spots on the ceiling). We were given a fourth room - a suite - on the third floor. This room was not updated like the first few rooms but at least the HVAC was working, and at first glance everything seemed clean. At this point it was 10pm so we got ready for bed. I looked into the shower only to find a big gob of black hair in the drain (photo). I decided to leave it for the morning. We shuffled into bed (photo) and listened to the windows rattling in the windy night along with all the traffic of Main Street (surprisingly a lot). In the morning, I showed the front desk a photo of the shower situation and asked for housekeeping to take care of it. He said they don't have housekeeping on weekends. What?! I've never stayed at a major hotel chain without daily housekeeping. Also an AI search of the hotel on Facebook mentions "daily housekeeping." Each room contained a letter (photo) from Jefferey Shepherd, VP of Operations, urging patrons to text or call with any issues. I texted him for the first time during our stay (with no reply). We avoided the shower stall horror show and showered at a nearby relatives' place - super inconvenient. We also noticed a dirty chair in the living room - like someone peed on it (photo). That night we tried watching TV but couldn't get any of the three remotes to work (photo). At least we got a decent night's sleep the second night. Sunday morning we went to the front desk to check out, rang twice for the clerk (photo) but he never showed up, so I left the room keys on his chair and left. Skip the cold breakfast, which is all they offer, and walk up the block to One North (photo) for a hot meal and delicious gourmet coffee. I called Jeff Shepherd after returning home. We had a cordial conversation and he offered to refund our stay (over $300) which I gratefully and thankfully accepted. One week later, still no refund so I texted him, which he read and again didn't bother replying. Another week passed, I called him again and left a voicemail asking why he changed his mind about the refund. More time passed and I emailed the company that manages the James Buchanan - Capital Hotels. STILL no response, so I'm forced to include a mention of the awful customer service in addition to the dirty hotel. I don't mind old, historic places, but they shouldn't be this dirty, and the HVAC should be in good working condition. Do yourself a favor and stay at one of the other hotels down the street. I know we will.

This place is such a conundrum. The house itself is gorgeous and retains many details that make it…read moreinteresting to visit. People seem to either love the hotel or hate it and it seems to depend on what type of room they choose. We were in town for a wedding and stayed 2 nights here. We chose a basic room with a queen bed. Upon arrival, the room looked cute and cozy. The bed had a decorative iron frame and was situated in front of a window that overlooked the street. That's where the good stuff ends. Our tv didn't work, the bathroom door didn't close, and the noise level was unbelievable. We tried to turn on the in-room minisplit to add some ambient sound, but that didn't help. The room was situated above Main Street and that street is busy all night long. The windows have very little sound insulation, so that made for a rough night's sleep. The bathroom was nice and they had great quality toiletries: Beekman 1802 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We liked that the shower had both a waterfall head and a handheld one. I will say that when we visited the Pub & Restaurant on the main level, we were very impressed. The bartender that was working Friday night supplied us with some of the best cocktails we have had in a long time. She made whiskey sours with just whiskey, lemon juice and egg whites. Those were a thousand times better than ones made with that nasty premade sour mix. She also whipped up a lavender drink with gin that was heavenly. I was sad when the pub closed at 9pm. That was the best part of the hotel.

I have never been in a hot tub that irritated my skin and burned my eyes like this place. We stopped by the bar area, and I had a cherry old fashioned which was delicious. The bartender was super nice, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I had a good stay and would definitely return when visiting the area.
