The Sherman Reviews

First I must say the bed was very comfortable and we got a good nights sleep. However the room doesn’t come with fridge or lounge chair which is inconvenient if you want to just hang out in your room. There are rooms with both fridge and two chairs but I guess you have to win the lottery to get them. Hotel wasn’t busy so when booking a premium King room would have expected more. There is no restaurant or bar despite showing photos on site. We were hoping for restaurant meal of authentic German food. Many reviews mention the restaurant and having a drink at the bar. But it appears since 2022 or 2023 these are not available. Some reviews mention breakfast no one at hotel mentioned this so be aware you may or may not get one. If you take the stay as a whole the bed was comfortable and clean. But the listing for amenities and dining are far from accurate which leaves you feeling cheated.

This is a beautiful old building with modern conveniences. The area is also beautiful and there’s a range to choose from to eat and shop there.

The staff was very friendly & helpful; the property is beautiful, but it would be nicer if the onsite restaurant &/or bar were in operation. Also, this time we lucked out & got one of the larger rooms, but relatives who were staying the same night had a very small room. (I understand that the uniqueness of the rooms is part of the charm, but can also be disappointing sometimes.)

I have stayed at and visited The Sherman several times. This time around noticed the Biergarten and what a find! There is an unmarked door up a couple steps through the garden area to access the bar and restrooms. Live music often, lots of seating, fire pits and nice staff.

Room was a nice smaller room either for an individual or a couple, 2nd floor would certainly not be beneficial to someone with disabilities or perhaps if they were a 'bigger' person. Overall very clean and nice, great German themed restaurant around the corner.

Super clean, modern remodeled room with king-size bed. Free convenient parking, great restaurant with beer garden in back.

At age 78 and 79 we were perplexed at no bellman, baggage cart nor elevator. A set of steep stairs and very long walk to last room. Unsecured parking across the street. No breakfast other than a cup of coffee and granola bar to go!

Cute, safe, and unique experience at the Sherman! It was perfect walking distance for restaurants, and the wedding we attended.

We visited for a night for our anniversary. It was a great hotel, we enjoyed the architecture and the biergarten. From our room, you couldn't hear the band that was playing in the biergarten and it was nice and quiet (only noise was a few people in the street below after the bar closed, but we didn't find it too loud or disruptive) . Room had an updated bathroom and still kept many of the historic features. Staff were all very friendly, offered a grab and go breakfast, helped us set up the tv, and gave good food recommendations.

A marvelous old hotel that has been made into a unique boutique hotel. There was a slight misunderstanding with my reservation and the manager owned the problem and went out of his way to correct it to more than my satisfaction. I would stay there again, and probably will.

Quaint old building in downtown Batesville. Room was very clean, and king bed was very comfortable. Updated bathroom had a great shower (even if it was on the smaller side). Beer hall right around the corner, also a couple other restaurants within easy walk.

The Sherman is best of both worlds, very clean with modern bath, yet many architectural features preserved. Tom checked us in and his years in hospitality were evident, we felt very welcome. We wandered and wondered at the many features of the inn. The town of Batesville is walkable with historically persevered buildings and quaint shops featuring local artists. There are many activities scheduled for summer, and a small carnival while we visited.

A very cool property! Our room was unique and comfortable.

I loved everything about this property! It has little charms that anyone would appreciate.
