We loved our stay here. The property was beautiful, the room spacious with a vintage feel. Breakfast was plentiful and the dining room made us feel like we were in a restaurant! All staff were very friendly! Would definitely go back and stay longer.

Perfect if you love history and old. Great food.

Excellent hotel for its money. Great breakfast. Excellect service. Good location. Very old hotel if you are into old. The floors, carpet and walls need a real scrub down around the elevator. Otherwise, 4.5 total. PS. May want to check elevator piston. The elevator has a sttong piston oil smell.
