Joseph, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

It's not ok to have your website state that you have a restaurant and bar only to find upon check-in that it is closed. Also, we were not able to regulate the heat in our room.
Pamela, 1-night trip

Nice, but never been to a hotel without hangers for clothing and no fresh towels unless requested.

8/10 Very good

The staff was very helpful & very nice. The waiter at breakfast gave us the history of the hotel that was very interesting.
Aimee L, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the historical feel, but the rooms themselves were dated and sparse. Coffee and water would have been nice in the lobby… we did not try the restaurant. The gym was in a separate building a short hike up hill, but a good warm-up. Having to sign out for a key was a little cumbersome, but the gym was adequate for a small hotel.

Overall, the hotel was beautiful, rooms were modern and clean. Pillows however were not very comfortable and somewhat small. Hotel grounds were the best part of our visit.
