Nice decor and nice location. Everything else was mediocre at best. One lamp didn’t work, a couple outlets did not work, no microwave in room, no soda machines, no vending machines for late night munchies. I chose the express check out process from my room, front desk clerk seemed annoyed, informed her about lamp and outlets not working. Front desk clerk seemed more annoyed when I mentioned that. I’ll be staying at holiday inn next time

The hotel has such a history! It was just a wonderful stay! It was a little hard for us to find the hotel but we were traveling from out of town and didn’t have very good directions. Once there, all was great!

This is a beautiful hotel. Well-maintained, wonderful staff. The amenities, the pool, hot tub, exercise room are all very clean. There is a restaurant and full service spa onsite. However, if you're looking for a duplicated, unimaginative corporate stay, this is not the place for you. It's full of history and character.
