This lovely historic hotel is a true gem. I was concerned about the squeaky floorboards in this old hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised by the consideration of the other guests, and my sleep was not disturbed. Staying at the Hotel St. Nicholas is an authentic experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very comfortable. The owners and staff are very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the tavern on sight where we mingled with the locals heard the ghost stories about the hotel.
Sat on the porch with our coffee in the morning. Just a great place to stay. Will definitely go back.

great historic hotel. I got a feel of the early 1900 staying there. Since its an old hotel, the floor boards were cricking and making noise when people were walking outside.. other then that, it was clean , very comfortable bed with soft pillows and very clean.

Hot and stuffy room, no A/C. Had to run water for over 5 minutes to get hot water. Not enough parking. Terrible breakfast, a few hard bagels, fruit, yogurt, coffee and juice.

This was our second year staying at this property for NYE, check in was smooth, the rooms are so charming and the staff super friendly. They had snacks in the bar on NYE and the continental breakfast has a fair number of options.
