A Step Back In Time....Hotel Tilasi.......

The posting is written at the bottom after you view the pictures.................

Lobby............

The son-in-law of the family that owns the hotel was very congenial and allowed all the pictures I wanted to take.

These flowers were on either sides of the front door. I would have omitted the blue flowers and used another kind......

I guess you could say that this is indeed a 'public shower'............

Tee-shirt, anyone?

and how long you will be staying?

and how will you be paying?

The carpet is so hotel-ish......I expected James Brolin to

appear any moment. Remember he was the manager

of the TV series 'Hotel' ?

The piano was in the common area near our room and

it played really well........

Common area

Another view.....................

The bath was behind double doors. Small

but efficient........

Our sitting area......

The smaller dining room is used at night. Breakfast is not served

but coffee is offered...........

The largest dining room is open for the mid-day meal that is buffet. On Friday and Saturday nights they serve a seafood buffet. Many of the local residents eat here.

As we arrived at the Hotel Talisi, the weather continued to be stormy. We quickly carried as much luggage in with us as we could. The double front doors were flanked on either side indoors with large blue and white containers with beautiful flower arrangements. Beautiful wine, pink and green cabbage rose carpet covered the floors.

The hotel was originally opened in 1928. Much of the furniture remains until today. The pigeon-hole key keeper on the wall along with the old fashion cash register immediately takes one back to earlier days. The wine sofa and wing chairs looked very comfortable.

Following the flowered carpet upstairs, it opened into two big common areas. a baby grand piano along with several chairs and sofas, large china cabinets held lovely dishes and figurines. Yes, I did play the piano!
Various pictures, oil and other mediums drew attention to the walls, along with beautiful fireplaces.

Our room was spacious enough to also have a sitting area. We had a king size bed and a beautiful victorian settee and wing chairs. Behind double door,the white tiled bath was small but adequate.

We had friends who checked in that night also. After settling in we met them and went down stairs for our evening meal in the dining room. The food was very good.

The family who now own the hotel are descendants of the orginal owners. They were living in Atlanta and when the hotel came up for sale recently, they decided to come home and buy it. They live on the third floor along with their daughter, son-in-law and two beautiful white dogs.

As I was downstairs making pictures the young son-in-law was on early duty and was very friendly and congenial. He gave me permission to go anywhere in the building to make pictures.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and hopefully will return sometime in the future for another visit.
