I am only writing this review due to the owner not holding up to his word.  Last August my friend stayed here and I woke up to a bat flying around the room.  This is an unmanned hotel so there is no one there at night.  My friend I I turned on the lights and were unable to find the bat.  There were no employees in the hotel so we did have many options so we left the light on and fell back to sleep after searching the room.  We woke up to bat dung on our pillow!   We called the owner and told him.  He apologized and said that is a first.  After returning home both my friend and I had several bite marks on our legs, torso and arms.  We were not sure where the bites came from so I called my dr and explained the situation.  She told me go to the emergency room to be evaluated because they are not equipped in the office to handle this if we needed treatment.  I called the owner Jonas Petty and he assured me they would take care of the ER charge which was $902.00 after insurance.  I contacted him several times and was sent a check for $500.00.  I emailed him asking why he only partially paid the total and was told business was slow but he would send the remaining $400.00 next week.  He never did and has stopped communicating.  I am a small business owner and have never made a negative review on any business.  This is not how you treat people or run a business.  If he would like to follow through with his obligations I would gladly remove this review.

Woke to bat flying around room and bat dung on my pillow.

I picked this hotel as it was midway on the trip and had great reviews. My review won't be so great.
The hotel is across from the beautiful big building see in some photos, (see my photo of the hotel).
The hotel is owned according to 1 of the 2 sisters that work it, by their brother.  I love supporting small independent businesses. 
It's a quirky hotel, sort of like a B&B and hotel mixed. 
The price was good, the decoration is good, it was overall clean (except the A/C unit).
There is narrow stairs and no elevator.

Our room had NO windows, it was the cheapest room, bathroom was clean. 
Nobody is there during the night, but you can phone for assistance and the sister covering that night was very fast showing up.
There was a problem as no heat, she didn't know how to turn it on.  Another room had the same issue, when I finally got the baseboard to heat (broken knob) I went down the hall and told her how to fix it for the other room. 
I'm glad we didn't use the A/C all night (did try as the woman later did to heat the room with it but I think it's really just an A/C unit). 
The A/C unit was very moldy. (see photo).

The bedroom doors have no deadbolt so if a previous renter copied the key, they can get in the room anytime.  It's a safety issue.
The door was awkward to close, as it's frame was split (see photo).
I was charged an extra ~$8 as I had booked via hotels.com and the daytime sister claimed hotels.com had the wrong amount. 

The breakfast is a joke, it's containers of yogurt, sometimes OJ, and coffee, and tiny cheap Walmart snack bars.  We did eat some yogurt and then later on the road get breakfast. 
 


Not a great hotel, but not expensive and locally owned.

Really enjoyed this old hotel, so interesting. Our room was very clean.  Walking distance to local watering holes.  Delicious Gianni’s Italian restaurant very close by.  I would definitely recommend this to friends travelling in this area.

Historic interesting hotel

Don’t expect a modern hotel room. This is an old building that has been renovated. Granted it was a hot day when I was there, the air conditioning didn’t keep the room cool. Additionally, this is a three floor hotel with no elevator. Be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs

Not overly impressed

The newly renovated WW Hotel is a landmark in the region. The new owners have fully, tastefully renovated the 1838 structure with full modern conveniences while maintaining the original charm. 

Friendly, comfortable, relaxing, quiet and charming. We will be back!

As a side note, they have onsite both a great coffee shop and BBQ restaurant.

Step back in time with all the modern conveniences 

Staff is friendly, but rarely seen. Hotel is centrally located across from courthouse (but along the highway with a lot of truck traffic, so rooms facing front are noisy). Abe Lincoln Suite was decorated with a lot of Abe Lincoln pictures which was creepy to me. There was no tv remote (which owner knows, but hasn't replaced for quite some time apparently) so it was really annoying to stand there and go through 100 channels - ended up just giving up and not watching tv. Breakfast was disappointing - fruit selection was only 2 very ripe bananas, jogurt, oatmeal, 2 glass jars half filled with cereal,  packaged bread with only 1 slice and end piece left in it! Better than nothing I guess. Had a "haunted" experience which was unnerving.

Slice of history

Not fancy but perfect - comfortable, very large room. Very comfortable beds. The kitchenette was a bonus. Great location for our needs. Decorated with wit but not overly kitschy. The adjoining coffee shop is very good. All staff friendly, helpful, just plain nice. This young couple has done a super job of reclaiming and restoring an historic building to be an asset to the town. We felt comfortable and welcome - no "airs".

Hotel with a true sense of the community

The hotel was very clean, organized  and well decorated. Alot of welcoming history. 
Staff was amazing!
There are places to eat and drink and also to listen to live music. Great getaway with plenty of things to do.

Great hotel and cute city center

Front desk girl was rude at check in and check out, but the amazing historical hotel made up for it.
Plenty of parking. Could use TVs in the bedroom suites.
There is an awesome restaurant, Nucci’s Pasta House, on Madison just past the square you can walk to

Amazing piece of history

Would definitely stay here again, regardless that the shower water could have been hotter. Parked our car & didn't move it till we left for home. Walked to dinner & lunch. Enjoyed the Fall Festival festivities & the Sat am parade. Beds & pillows were nice & comfortable,
