Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a cool school atmosphere with unique themed rooms like the former Detention room and the Honors Room. The experience was really fun, especially with the whiskey tasting and the pool area complete with shuffleboard. However, some might find the school theme a bit too overwhelming if that's not their vibe.

Staying at the hotel was a unique experience with a mix of pros and cons. The rooms provided a fascinating glimpse into the history of a long-serving teacher with original furnishings, including pull-down blackboards and period books. However, the HVAC vent directly over the bed made temperature control a challenge. Surprisingly, the room was quieter than expected.
