This was my second stay at the Le Bonte. In the intervening two years they have improved the guest room amenities greatly. I really liked their keyless room locks, just enter the code on the keypad, no card to swipe. There was no staff visible during my stay (though I didn't go into the hotel bar), a text gave me my room key code which was more convenient than my last stay.

I really liked the fact that I didn’t need to check in at the desk to get a room key.

This is a historic building, so age was expected. our room was neat and tidy, although we had to adjust the bed placement since there was two of us. I ended up using the chair for a side table for my book and phone (flashlight) to read by. I would suggest adding a small item for putting luggage on. However, the open wardrobe was convenient for placing clothes. The main reason for a 4 is the lack of usable outlets. The only real usable one is next to the sink. The one on the east wall did not hold the plug, made a spark and took out a charger. These days, people need to charge phones, watches, and toothbrushes. Its crazy, but it is what it is. Yes, I would stay here again. The check-in was really easy and convenient with the text and code to the door. The manager was super friendly and welcoming.

The historic appearance was appealing

Amazingly renovated and very cool!! I love the check in with the text telling you the room code. Fast and easy!!

I often try “historic hotels” with great pleasure. This hotel has seen better days. I was OK for a night, but no longer. The noise from the bar lasted until 12:45 am. I would not recommend this hotel nor this sonewhat depressed town for a stay.

Always great, like a ghost hotel no staff vut great atmosphere

Great place to stay, very clean, friendly, and hospitable.

Just a really cool old hotel. Really cool.

Old historic building well maintained. Felt safe people were friendly

The elevator was broken. We were told it was just fixed after weeks of not working.

The only downside was our initial entry password to our room which didn't work. We were told another would be sent immediately which didn't happen, resulting in our staying in and ordering pizza, instead of going out to eat as we planned. We couldn't leave our room... unlockable! We had to contact them again to get the new passcode.

Loved

Lovely old property

Beautiful old hotel with nice updates. Owner was fantastic about payment since my card failed to go through online but he held our reservation anyway. Laundry smelled great!

There were no hotel staff at all on the premises. No breakfast provided. No hairdryer in the room. No coffee in the lobby. No food available despite the website talking about a restaurant. A very strange and rather surreal experience.

Room was comfortable tho basic. A second chair oils have been helpful. Room and bathroom clean. Bed was comfortable. Weird to walk on and nobody greeted you. Good instructions via text message.

Perfect stop on the way

Hotel LaBonte was fabulous! The hotel has been restored with good attention to its history and age- it's like 75 years new! Everything was very clean. Check-in was a breeze- got a text with my room number and door code. February in Douglas is slow, so I never saw another person (guest or otherwise), but it was very warm and homey; office windows (old school) were open with a number to call if I needed anything. It was like stepping back into Mayberry, or being at Mom's house while she was on vacation! Very enjoyable stay!

Very clean and comfortable hotel with character.

I love staying here. Bill is always ready to make sure my stay is perfect. The rooms are spotless. The bed heavenly. Love having a bar right in the hotel. Many restaurants close by.

Part of building being remodeled. Old hotel with some improvements to room. Functional but not exceptional furnishings. No one at desk in evening or in morning. Checked in by text message which was handy but different.

Room was very clean! Fun local place with friendly people and we love the historical feel. We stay here every time we are passing through Douglas.

There wasn't any eateries nearby which were open Sunday evening. Had to drive to west side of town by interstate to find options.

It’s quiet and beautiful love the old turned into new beautiful place!

Had a bar and nice local people

The lobby was nice, its an older hotel with character. Its currently under construction. We awoke to the sounds of tools being used. We did see a few spiders in the bathroom. Easy keyless coded entry.

Quaint vintage hotel. Comfy beds and great towels. Friendly staff.

Great people

This was a great hotel right in the middle of downtown Douglas. There are nice shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and a great shower. The TV was small, but I hardly watched TV anyway so it didn't bother me. The AC unit kept the room nice and cool, and it stays on until you shut it off which I appreciate.

There was no staff to be seen, we had a broken Tv but couldn’t find staff to assist us.

The good news is it was available when the highway closed. The bad news is that it's over 100 years old. Things weren't as bad as I expected given the age of the place. Loved the art! That was better than I expected.
