James Buchanan Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

The room was recovery cheaply and had what seemed to be thrift store furniture that did not fit well with the room. The AC could be changed to make it warmer.

A stay at the James Buchanan Hotel feels like stepping into a carefully preserved slice of American history, yet never at the expense of comfort. The rooms carry an unmistakably historically accurate ambiance—period‑inspired décor, warm wood finishes, and subtle architectural details that make you feel connected to the era. But what really elevates the experience is how seamlessly those classic touches blend with modern comforts. Thoughtful updates, cozy furnishings, and contemporary amenities make the space feel less like a museum and more like a place you can genuinely settle into and call home. Beyond the rooms, the hotel’s attached pub and restaurant are standout features. The menu leans heavily on locally sourced ingredients, and you can taste the difference in every dish—from hearty classics to more inventive seasonal plates. It’s the kind of spot where both travelers and locals linger a little longer than planned. And then there’s the quaint bier garten, a charming outdoor nook perfect for unwinding. Whether you’re sipping a cold pint under string lights or enjoying small bites with friends, it adds a relaxed, communal vibe that rounds out the entire experience. If you’re looking for a stay that honors history while still feeling warm, welcoming, and deliciously modern, the James Buchanan Hotel delivers.

We only stayed here one night as a layover in between other locations. The room is small but comfortable. Our first room the air conditioning did not work and they moved as right away.

A little peculiar and old but very nice and special place. Feels like you stepped back in time, but I kind of think that’s the point. Our room was like an entire apartment and really exceeded our expectations. The pictures were really limited and did not do it justice. We had a lovely time though, and the food was actually really good at the restaurant.

There is no longer a breakfast offered. Update your online info as we would not have stayed there. Street traffic is very noisy n you are sleeping a few feet away. Restaurant was empty n did not have available food that was on menu. Not much in the town anymore just a noisy traffic town now. Beautiful history n well preserved but disappointing. If your town library is best thing going in the town, that says alot about the town.
