Dec 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location We had a great girls weekend staying at the 1799 inn. The location is great and we were able to walk out the door to all the sites, shopping, and restaurants around town. We were there during the Christmas season and the town was so nostalgic. The inn was clean and welcoming. A few things we noticed is the heating situation. As a historic building there is no central heat but a few more space heaters would be great. Also the shower did not get very hot so that could be addressed. Overall a great time. Thanks to the hosts for preserving this beautiful building! ##### Stephanie P.
