Will not recommend
First, there is not a drop off area. Had to walk the very icy parking lot to get to the door. Secondly, welcomed by a not welcoming muslim lady wearing a pro Palestine scarf which made us very uncomfortable. Thirdly, no microwave in the room Icy parking, icy sidewalks and front desk ?!?!?

We always stay at The Courthouse. It's beautiful, clean and quiet. It does offer continental breakfast, but that aspect needs improvement.

Great hotel in a historic building. Wide hallways, high ceilings, wood doors and paneling. Very high ceilings in the rooms, spacious too.

We love the Courthouse hotel. This is our 2nd extended stay. The first night there was a boiler issue which caused the room to be on the cool side until the boiler was fixed the next day. We were offered extra blankets but fell asleep before they showed up. Other than that, we enjoyed our time in this hotel. Breakfast was great each morning.

Don’t stay here in the winter
Room is super cold. Heating not working, I set the temperature at 99’f but it only go as high as 65’f, that was only 18’c!! Talked to the front desk right away and was giving a portable heater to get through the night, and was hoping to get a permanent solution for the next day of stay, but nothing happened , even tho we were promised that the management will looking into it and compensate us for the two nights.
