Beautiful, historic property with much grandeur and class. The team excels at customer service. They checked each day to make sure all was going well with our stay. We loved dining at both the restaurant and lobby bar area. One of my favorite properties I’ve stayed in. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have experienced this lovely property.

Nice staff, and beautiful and elegant building. The rooms are showing their age, however. Frayed upholstery, chipped and marred furniture, and leak-stained walls and ceilings.
