What guests think

At Artists Colony, guests praise the central, walkable location and welcoming staff, while feedback on the historic rooms is mixed, highlighting comfortable stays for many but recurring issues with mattress comfort, dim lighting, and occasional noise or maintenance quirks.

Cleanliness is often praised, though a few guests reported missed details or intermittent odors in hallways or the lobby. The on-site restaurant and breakfast receive frequent compliments for taste and convenience, but breakfast is not always included. In-room amenities are basic, with occasional Wi-Fi or TV signal problems and limited storage or coffee makers in some rooms. Expect a charming, convenient stay in a historic inn with simple, older rooms.

I wish I had known about the stairs that I would have to take. I didn’t notice anything about it in the description. I was comfortable when I got in the room but certainly not wowed by any stretch of the imagination.

Property needs some updating. Throw rug beside bed is dangerous and so is slippery floor. Stool to stand on to get into bed is small and tips easily. Upholstered chair is uncomfortable. Bathroom floor tiles chipped and loose around perimeter. Employees at checkin and waitress helpful and friendly. Responded to requests quickly. Staff was the best part of the stay at this property

Artist Colony is a quaint, beautiful inn. Staff was great. Restaurant was good. Great location. Room comfort for older guests is questionable. Bed is very tall and can be hard to get into. Floors are beautiful wood, rugs made it slippery.

The aesthetic is adorable. The restaurant on site is very good as is the staff. The bed, while comfortable, has a very noisy frame. And you can hear all hall and neighbor noise. Location is convenient and you don't have to pay for parking.

Very charming and clean but not very quiet or dark if you need that for good rest. Room had a plate on a table with a knife and oily looking napkin on it- apparently from previous guest? I also paid extra for a “balcony” which was perched in front of someone else’s window. Awkward with their curtains open. Did not use it. Evening front desk girl very helpful and sweet.

Room could’ve been cleaner.. details on the cleaning such as a disposable razor was left by previous guests and not thrown away by cleaning staff and there was a blood stain on a pillow case so wondering why that wasn’t disposed of?? Also think there should be a discount for guests who dine at the Artist Colony.

I was accused of smoking in the room which i did not i got a room with a balcony to smoke on which i did they tried to charge me 100$ for smoking in the room. bad business to make false accusations. and if the Artists wants to talk about smells they should talk about how about as soon as you walk in how it smells like sewer!!!! smelled so bad it made me sick i asked the lady at the front desk what the smell was she acted like there was no sewer smell. the room was very clean but for a suite you would think there would be a fridge a microwave a tv thats bigger then 12in. i wont stay or recommend the Artists to anyone after the false accusations and the sewer smell in the lobby.

The room was very small and also the TV was quite small. The room had no coffee maker, mini fridge, or microwave. The picture on the website made the room look much bigger. also, there was no dresser or shelves to put clothing on. Also, no closet but did have hooks on the wall.

The hallway is loud but no noise after folks entered their room. Nice basic breakfast at a reasonable price. Highly recommend staying here.
