See what our guests have been saying…

  • Exceeded expectations! As someone who has traveled for a living for the past 27 years and has stayed in every category of hotel, this is top 5. Small town perfection! My husband and I relished the opportunity to do absolutely nothing in a quiet and comfy environment. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the end of town and that suited us just fine. Coffee shop adjacent to the property was fantastic, Old Taylor High shops and eateries were convenient and enjoyable as were those in town. We plan on returning regularly top recharge and enjoy the solitude.

  • Very cute, well laid-out space! Nice extras such a wine cooler and screened in porch. The manager thoughtfully recognized our special occasion visit. The hotel is on par with hotels we've stayed in recently in much larger cities, such as Seattle and Vancouver.

  • My husband and I had a wonderful stay here! The room was clean, the bed was very comfy, and the courtyard was absolutely adorable. We read books under the string lights, making a sweet memory to remember. Haciendo right next door is a plus too! We will definitely be back ☺️✨

  • My wife and I had a wonderful time at Talbot Commons. The cooking area was incredibly welcoming when we walked in. The room wallpaper is iconic. The personal touch by the staff was a great comfort. We look forward to visiting again and seeing you grow.

  • We had a great experience! The host went above and beyond to help us out with a last-minute booking, even answering the phone after hours to make sure everything went smoothly. Super grateful for the quick response and flexibility. The place was exactly what we needed, and the communication was top-notch. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

  • This hotel is so beautiful and tranquil. It is well worth the price. It's located in the middle of downtown but you would never know it. It is very quiet, beautiful decor inside and outside. It has a common area with chairs, tables, a coffee shop on the premise. The rooms are spacious, clean, very high end. The decor and the bathroom items, water in the fridge inside the room. Are all from local places. I definitely recommend this place for a family or a single person get away. Absolutely stay here.
