Max from Thistle Inn was especially helpful in quelling my nervousness around getting in to the room, super easy in the end. Just know that he sends the email morning of with info, not 72 hours prior like it says on the hotels.com info page. Had a great stay after a gardens aglow excursion!

Run down
The room was freezing and to very long time to warm up. Sheets clean stiff and uncomfortable. The door to the bathroom the trim on the floors nails sticking up and could rip a bare foot. Over priced for this time of year and could use some sprucing up.

Love that it is close to downtown area. Attached restaurant is very good. It is directly on the main street into town, but not too loud.
