Unique 150y/o hotel. Had a feeling of stepping back in time, walking through the doors. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was a bit small, but manageable. Bathroom was clean, though the sink sprayed everywhere when used. Bath towels were cleaned, but had some big holes in some of them. Beds were noisy and not very comfortable, but they served their purpose.we appreciated the free breakfast, though it was lacking as it was only apples, bananas, granola bars, yogurt, milk, cereal, and a microwaveable sausage and biscuit. Still not sure where the bar/restaurant was at, as the signs for its location were not very clear and you could not walk through the hotel, you had to go out of the hotel to find it. Overall, the Decker served its purpose and made for a unique place to stay.

We stayed at the Decker Hotel and Bar for one night in mid-September. It is conveniently located in the downtown area and there are several restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Our room was on the small side, but very clean and quiet. The shower was great and had good water pressure and plentty of hot water. The overhead light didn't work, but there was a small lamp in the room that provided enough light for us, since we were out at a concert most of the night. If we were going to be staying in our room more, we would have requested that we be moved to a different room since the lighting would have been inadequate. If you were going to be staying more than one night or in the room more, I would consider upgrading to a larger room for the space. The room air conditioner worked well and kept the room cool and dry. The mattress was springly and a bit soft for us. I would suggest that it might need replacement, but the linens looked new and were quite comfortable. All in all, this is a good place to stay when visiting the state park and/or a concert at Codfish Hollow Barnstormers.

Cool hotel, just be prepared of what to expect

I struggled writing this review for several reasons. First off, overall it was a fun and neat experience. But, on the other hand not what I was expecting at all. While I wanted to show what my experience was, I didn’t want to deter anyone from coming here. In the long run, I would probably come back here, but would know what I was getting myself into this time. First off, there was no bar, lounge or restaurant onsite as described. The breakfast consisted of one type of cereal, water and a banana. My initial reaction from the outside of the building was not good. The outside needs a lot of work and is in rough shape. Let me tell you, when I opened the front door I was taken back with the beauty inside. It was old world, rich and very exquisite. Check in was easy and friendly. But, we were on the 4th floor, which meant we had to use the elevator. Very small and old. The permit in the elevator that was posted said the last inspection was in March 2015, which I hope this is just an oversight and an updated inspection permit was just not posted. The room was pretty cool and the hallways felt like we were in a horror movie (the shining) which created a cool ambiance. There is no door on the bathroom. So privacy isn’t an option while on the toilet or showering. The bed was amazing and the space was cool, but underutilized, with just a few chairs and couch in a huge space. Rain knocked out the satellite, so no tv. Overall I would do it again, but have a better idea what to expect.

No f no way

Place was scary and no bar or restaurant the guy could tell my cousin and I anything about anything the door lock had gray duct tape on it and a man kept peeking out at us every time we walked in. So scary we packed up and left and when we left I put the keys on the desk and a man came out in pjs and bare feet. We were scared as soon as we got there. We are both in our forties so it takes a lot to freak us out. No way could I sleep there we got a queen as cousins thinking that’s fine no the room was tiny not what was shown with an old little bed We could have gotten through that as us gals grew up together so no biggie but the vibe was insanely scary. I wish we could get our money back but we were willing to pay the 116 and dive out because it was insanely scary. We dug deeper and they rent it out at 600 a month explains a lot F no to this do not go unless you want to be scared out of your mind It reminded us of American horror story hotel

It appeared the bar and grill was out of service. The hotel itself was like a museum going back in time. The room was clean with old school wooden furnishings. I enjoyed my stay but ate at the local diners on main street. Hotel reminded me of the movie "The Shining". I thought it was pretty cool seeing the vintage furnishings.
