Yes, it's old but charming and great price. Downtown location. Warm, decent bed comfort, double bed and twin. We will be staying again. Extra blankets, heater, fan. Furnishings are old but if you can handle a step back in time and just need a place to lay your head, perfect spot.

We stayed for a couple of nights while visiting the Campus of Hillsdale College. Great location which was very convenient. The space heaters kept the room nice and cozy as the temperature was in the 40's at night. Would definitely visit again.

This property looks picturesque on the website. Reality quickly smacks you in the face upon entering the front door. It’s actually a very large and old run down house that’s been converted into several apartments. Ours was poorly furnished/decorated. I would not recommend anything in this building.

This rental is very cozy, equipped with everything you need. The owner is very responsive and provides little extras that really made it welcoming! It is within walking distance of food, coffee house and supplies. There was a little hiccup with checking in but it was resolved by one of the employees. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back!

Old building, as most in Hillsdale are, so no surprise there. Thin walls, and the neighbors were noisy one night. The bed was comfy and host had supplied water bottles and a few snacks, which were appreciated. The kitchen and living room space were dusty.
