    Small rooms. Bathroom is very small. Turning radius to enter is very tight. Water in shower takes a while to heat up.

    Quaint historic building, proud of it’s heritage. Staff was genuinely friendly and helpful.

    the website indicated a restaurant was attached but when I calle to check the hours they said it was closed. it worked out because we ended up at a little pub down the street that was just lovely

    very charming with an old house coziness about it.

    There is no elevator to our second floor room, but we knew that when we made the booking

    The Sherman is a quaint 150 year old hotel (remodeled) in downtown Batesville, Indiana. The staff was very friendly . We enjoyed our 2 day stay as we sampled several privately owned and recommended local restaurants. The only disappointment I would say was that the hotel’s ,well known and classic, restaurant was closed - reportedly due to a lack of a proper staff.

    The room was a little small. The shower was so small that I don't think a big person would fit in it. The air conditioner was so noisy that it kept us awake until we finally had to get up and shut it off. Fortunately, it was cool enough outside to sleep with the window open. No screen on the window, however.

    The location is right in the heart of town. The people are friendly and helpful, and lovely to speak with. They gave us a history of the building and the area.

    Beds are too firm, rooms aren’t sound proof. We could hear hallway noise.

    The location was great! We were able to walk to everything and really enjoyed the nearby pizza joint. We also had a great time in the bar. The live band was wonderful and we shot pool and darts for hours. We loved the fact that the hotel is so old! We also loved that the common areas weren’t updated but the rooms were. It’s a beautiful place!

    No elevator. I wouldn’t have booked the room if I knew there was no elevator. Also, the breakfast was a disappointment. The web site said it was available, but breakfast in a bag was disappointing.

    Staff was friendly and kept the room really clean.

    Bar closed early. Actually whole town closed early. I’m definitely not used to that coming from California

    By far the best hotel in town. Close, and I mean walking distance, to EVERYTHING. When you think Hallmark movie, think this town and hotel.

    No elevator, but we were find with that. If someone was staying, that was confined to a wheelchair that could be a problem. They may have rooms on the ground floor, which I did not ask about. You could definitely check with them before hand. Other than no elevator, we loved our stay.

    The Sherman was immaculate, which is a big deal for me. The staff was so sweet and very helpful. We stayed one night, going to Metamora on Saturday. We had an extra bonus as a live band, (Dooley and Justin) were performing outside on the patio. We would definitely stay here again.
