- "Location was great. The facility is fantastic. We loved the entertainment area. Very nice for kids." - "Excellent hotel" - "Bowling alley, basketball gym, nice size showers and rooms." - "Justin from Catherine’s bar was just incredible. He came to check on us, made sure we received excellent service, and personally took AMAZING care of us. When we returned for dinner he visited us and asked about our drinks and food; and when we prepared to leave he expressed HIS appreciation for having us there. He made us feel so welcomed and really special. We all fell in love with him and even if I were just passing through W-S I would think to stop at Catherine’s to have a drink and a meal for the excellent food yes! But especially to see him!!!"

Guest Reviews:

- "I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Probably one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in a while. The staff was exceptional. Friendly, accommodating, professional. They made our stay feel like home. The room was spacious with modern finishes. The bed was comfortable and the linens were clean and crisp. We loved the walk in tiled shower. The hotel itself retained its historic beauty with a modern twist. Every single staff member we came into contact with was fabulous. It was so nice being able to travel with our dog. You wouldn’t even know the rooms are dog friendly because everything was so clean and there were zero traces of pets as far as smell or accident remnants. The hotel is situated in a great location. Plenty of bars, shops and restaurants within a very short walking distance. We loved this place and will be back!"
