Wonderful Hotel and service
JIM, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious and clean. Weekend events however included music to 11pm and midnight.
Ralph, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We had a slight issue with our room on the first night, and the staff worked to address it the best they could within the constraints of a fully booked hotel for the night. Outside courtyard area is delightful to relax in. Breakfast was just ok, but free so nothing to complain about. Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again!

Beautiful hotel. Historic property. In the middle of everything. Nice coffee service and wine and cheese at five. Pleasant bar and restaurant in courtyard. One of the nicest places I have been to. Complimentary bottle of wine a nice touch

The property was really good, I would highly recommend
Caterina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Gorgeous hotel. Loved the wine and cheese reception and the plunge pool. Our room was nice and clean. The only downside was that the elevator was broken. Thankfully the staff helped us with our luggage. The hotel did apologize for the broken elevator and were visibily working to get it fixed. I only stayed for one night, and would like to stay longer during a future trip. Really, can't recommend this place enough.
Drew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quirky, beautiful, historic property. Do not plan on dining in
eve, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Liked: It's charming, great location, room very clean - and renovated-; front desk - excellent service! Didn't like: Menu at the restaurant - limited in terms of variety. It should offer a lighter selection (e.g. quesadillas, a soup, etc.)
Yolanda, 2-night trip
