Reviews
tripadvisorOur Son was married at Main Street Abbey. In & out of room until we couldn’t get back in before the wedding ceremony. Down the aisle NOT fully dressed we went.Their door locked, we couldn’t get in & the front desk couldn’t get in. Entry was made by them during the ceremony. At checkout I told the desk, management needed to call me. It took management from 5/25 to 6/2 before I was called . I was then told we didn’t close the door properly & no compensation would be given. THEIR DOOR LOCKED, WE COULD’NT GET IN & THEY COULD’NT GET US IN & IT’S OUR FAULT!! Pictures & video that we can never get back. Beware of room 104 & during check in make sure you ask them the proper way to close their doors so you don’t have a similar problem because they will not be held responsible.
MoreThe customer service when I initially called was fantastic. However, when we arrived, the desk attendant had her head on the desk and seemed irritated that we interrupted her. The room was dirty. There were dirty dishes as well. The dust on the light shades was so thick you could write on it. The box of dishwasher pods was empty as well. I did speak to the manager at checkout and she apologized. Also, the honeymoon suite requires you to tote your suitcasesup 44 stairs. No elevator available. Would've been nice to know this in advance.
MoreSuch a unique and interesting place to stay! The property is well updated, clean and filled with fun little details keeping with the theme of the restored school building that it is.Check-in was quick and easy. Staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are quite large, with comfy beds and a nice sized bathroom area. Our room had an almost full size refrigerator in it as well as a coffee maker. There are also Keurig machines in the lobby. They have some grab-and-go type breakfast options available if you don't want to pay for a sit down breakfast. On the morning we were there, they had packaged muffins, granola and protein bars available.The hotel is in a nice area, with a few dining options nearby. I walked to a nearby park that has pickleball courts and found a paved walking trail, as well.We will definitely book this hotel again!
MoreMy daughter in law went to school here. Such a unique idea. Very charming. Rooms are spacious, great mattress, sheets and pillows. Muffins & coffee for breakfast. Would definitely stay here again. Every staff person I encountered was very nice & helpful, which is unusual these days.
MoreThis is a great unique hotel somewhat off the beaten path but close to everything you need or want at a reasonable price. First there is the name which give you a hint of the vibe, an old school reimagined as a boutique hotel. The school themed decor follows through from the minute you walk in the door to your room. The designers thoughtfully left many elements of the school and incorporated them perfectly.The rooms are spacious and well thought out too. Beds are comfortable bathrooms are well lit (hard to find in hotels) and every space is exceptionally clean.I stayed on a Monday so the restaurant was not open but no worries there are a number of good restaurant choices within a 2 block walk.The only issue is a minor one that wouldn't matter if you don't work out when traveling. The workout room only has one elliptical machine, 2 treadmills and a few weights. The elliptical was a brand I was not familiar with and I wasn't able to get it going to use. The space is small but large enough to add a bike or another elliptical.I would love to find more hotels like this when traveling for work, it would make it more fun. I would definately stay here if I come through again. I can see where this would be a fun place to host an event.
