We were happily greeted by staff and the room was beautiful along with the lobby, dining, and outside architecture! A true piece of precious history to enjoy. Location is perfect allowing us to walk to any restaurant or store and leave the car parked in the validated parking ramp.

This is a nice property but the hotel room I stayed in lacked closet space for my clothing. Still, the property is wonderful and the staff was very friendly. I would stay here again.

Very comfortable and unique hotel. Elegant, but not snobby.
Staff was very courteous and professional. It was a little confusing navigating the parking with a heavy traffic from the Snow Sculpture Festival, I was very glad I’d read the instructions closely enough to have a basic idea where I was going - it would be okay if it was explained in even a bit more detail.
Very clean. My son and I are both very sensitive to smells and scented cleaning projects and this was one of few places I’ve stayed that it really had almost no scent. Very impressive for an historic hotel! A couple maintenance things that I’m not sure they knew about up in the family suite (soft spot on the bathroom floor was the most concerning), but they were appreciative when I mentioned it at checkout, so hopefully that is something that will be resolved.
I’d highly recommend sitting in the lounge and spending a bit of time browsing the book with the hotel story!

Staff were absolutely superior. The hotel itself felt empty. No coffee etc in lobbyv in afternoon. No coffee in room. No breakfast available. It felt almost like the owners aren't concerned with guest comfort.
The hotelbitself was beautiful with all the old world charm, though our room was sparcly decorated

The room was simple but very clean and the shower in the bathroom was fabulous! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also loved the little balcony on our room to sit and drink our morning coffee which was complimentary and very good. We ate breakfast in the restaurant and the food was homemade and delicious. Location was ideal and everything we needed was in walking distance. We hope to go back again someday!

Comfy with charm
It was very clean and comfortable. I loved the comfortable mattress and historic charm offered with modern conveniences. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I was left wondering why this place was so much less expensive than the other hotels I have stayed at before.
