Frequent Questions

The Inn is a church? Is everything super religious?

The Inn was originally a Methodist church. The congregation sold it to a private party in 2004 where it began the restoration and conversion from a church to an Inn. While the building has a rich history, it is now a secular space. The Inn is a place for all to enjoy, regardless of religious beliefs. We welcome everyone!

Is my room private?

Yes! Each room has it's own entrance with a lock and door code that is only for you. Your en-suite bathroom is attached to your room and is only for your use. Like a hotel, there is a main entrance to the Inn and common areas like the kitchen, garden, library, lounges and social spaces.

Is everything old and creepy?

Absolutely not! While the building may have historical roots, it has undergone a thoughtful refurbishment, blending modern conveniences with its unique charm and beauty. The Inn is a warm, inviting space with comfortable furnishings and luxury amenities. The building is well-lit and secure, and the neighborhood is safe and walkable.

Why is it named Gothic Heights?

We wanted to honor the unique Gothic architecture of the building and highlight the "heights" of the space including the tall ceilings, arched doorways and roof-top hot tub. Additionally we're located in the Clifton Heights neighborhood.

Are there shared spaces?

The main sanctuary area boasts a spacious shared kitchen, a dining area, multiple cozy sitting and reading spaces, and designated TV areas. Additionally, guests can unwind at the large bar for morning coffee or evening happy hour, enjoy a board game or chess in the lounge, and relax in the outdoor garden. For those seeking ultimate relaxation, there's also an outdoor patio and a rooftop hot tub, ensuring every guest finds their perfect spot to unwind and enjoy their stay.

Does someone live on-site?

Yes! The inn is our home, and we live on the lower level (below ground) of the property with our twin boys and our 2 dogs. We are available to assist you with anything you need during your stay, but we also respect your privacy and space so you may not even see or hear us for your entire stay. We are available via text or phone if you need anything.

Do all rooms have access the Rooftop Hot Tub?

Yes! The Rooftop is available to all guests. You can catch a beautiful sunset or 360 views of the city including the Gateway Arch. It's even better at night. The hot tub is open from 3pm to 11pm daily. The rooftop is a great place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the city.

Can I rent the entire Inn?

We have a special rate to rent the entire space. If you rent the entire Inn a 5th bedroom is available, bringing the total number of sleeping arrangements to 10.
Contact us at (314) 900-7110 or Stay@GothicHeightsInn.com for details.
