We booked the Alice Suite to get ready for our wedding. Our experience was above and beyond our expectations! There was plenty of room for our hair and makeup artist to work. Since it was raining, our photographer took most of our photos in the incredibly-decorated suite! Our friends and family stopped by and indulged in snacks that we put out. There was plenty of space. Our friend’s baby even hung out in the suite with his grandparents while his parents attended our wedding. Overall, we really can’t recommend Guild House enough. They made our wedding prep much smoother.

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. We stayed in room Florence. It was incredible. The hotel is so quaint and gorgeous. I love the character of the room. The little extras just brought it up another notch, from the white noise machine to the lemon cookies! It was great to read the history of the wonderful woman our room got its name from. Communication was excellent and simple.

I stayed at the Guild House Hotel with 3 friends in February 2023. Everything from booking a room to communicating with hotel staff was incredibly easy, and we did not mind the absence of a front desk and onsite reception. The room was clean and beautifully decorated, and had a lovely sitting area at the end separated by heavy curtains that provide privacy and another spot for hanging out. The complimentary coffee and water were icing on the cake. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
