Henderson Castle Inn

It was absolutely beautiful. Such a beautiful view, really nice people working there and a very historic feeling without feeling too “old”. There was t really anyone else staying there so we got a wonderful free room upgrade. I would very much recommend the Italian room!!The restaurant area was beautiful. Enjoyed the small bar and the wine cave was pretty cool. Was a beautiful evening so we even got to experience the backyard hot tub. Breakfast was amazing! Coffee and mimosa bar! Which we took out and drank on the front porch, and then went in to eat breakfast. Location was great too and a bit out of the city, which we loved.

It could use a little landscaping cleanup. The rooftop hot tub was broken, which was a bummer and the backyard hot tub needed a few leaves cleaned out before we could use it.

The complimentary breakfast was delicious. Presented so beautifully European style. Very good.

Staff was excellent and available. Food was excellent. Spacious place...never felt crowded. Super interesting history and architectural details. Beautiful inside and out, very enjoyable for relaxing and appreciating what others have made and done there.

Has great potential to be a really popular destination, but it's not there. Too many upgrades needed inside, outside needs landscaping maintenance and some professional input. The owner has the right vision, just comes up a little short. I am sure he has had all this looked into and it's just a huge financial bump that may be impossible to overcome? Maybe a group of investors who value historic properties could come together to share the burden and be involved as frequent owner-guests? The staff is bought into the future potential, so maybe locals would trade labor for some benefits at the Inn. Tem- porary room and board in trade for their efforts? That idea would have to be developed...many downsides. If it eventually sells, hopefully the new owner has the same vision. I don't see it selling at the price it is at due to the many upgrades needed.

The architecture was unique. The history is exciting.

The TV in our room didn't work. The jacuzzi tub in our room had been cocked shut and there was no drain plug for it. They had a wedding on site on Saturday which made parking for most of the day impossible and they had a wedding party that was going out above our room so the lights in our bedroom were literally shaking.
