Hotel was nice. I wish the room was warmer than 65 degrees, it was a bit cold for my wife and I. All the staff in the hotel and restaurant were very pleasant to work with.

Knowing it was a historic hotel we didn't expect perfection on appearance. We also knew the room would be small-neither of those were an issue.Staff was friendly and helpful. But a lumpy mattress, HVAC immediately outside our window running all night, no washclothes in bathroom, no answer at front desk, out of conditioner in the shower.. all things that should be available 24/7 made our 20th anniversary miserable

The hotel lobby when you walk in is extremely nice and well kept. The bar/restaurant was good for drinks and the breakfast was good. Beyond that, there isn't anything special about the room we stayed in. It was clean, however very small and tight. The a/c unit in the room we had to mess with a little bit because it was extremely loud and shaky. For the cost of the room, I wouldn't stay here again.

For us this was a flawless stay! From the curbside valet parking to the incredible front desk staff, all were eager to help and making the effort for things to go seamlessly. Our room was a very large executive king suite. It was spacious with a separate bedroom and bath area, and was exceptionally clean. We are well traveled, and this was a fantastic room! The property itself is stunning and steeped in history. We will be back again, the next time we’re in the area. Thank everyone for making this a great stay!

The property was scruffy: damaged walls, lampshades, tabletops. Windows were very dirty. No exhaust fan in bathroom.
Dinner at restaurant was overpriced and mediocre. Breakfast was much better.
It’s a beautiful historic building that needs TLC.
