Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The Roosevelt room was absolutely beautiful!! The bed was SO comfortable and the staff was friendly. If the only thing I can "complain" about, was the 100+year old toilet ran all night, I'd say I'm VERY satisfied! We will definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area
From the friendly service and tastefully decorated room to the charming courtyard, delicious breakfast, and convenient location—everything contributed to a very pleasant experience overall.
The property main building is an elegant old home. We stayed in the Roosevelt room for 1 night - very spacious a clean. Although short menu, breakfast was delicious.
Although my stay was top notch from check-in to check-out, the included breakfast (from a menu) stood out as the best I have had at a hotel or B & B. It was incredible as was the wait staff who took my order and delivered exceptional service.
We loved our stay at Showers Inn! It was very clean, the staff was very friendly and the environment was relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
