Beautiful hotel, had a nice questions historical feel. The front desk lady was very nice, check in went smoothly. There's no parking on the premises, but we found parking just around the corner that was free overnight, just be careful to look for signs about when it becomes ticketed/timed (the spot we found became 90 min parking at 9am). We had a very pleasant stay! Left the ghosts a little offering of some chocolate but they didn't even take any, they were very friendly and made us feel right at home. Only thing they messed with was logging in to a website on our phone-such silly gooses. Shout out to Dapper Dan, he definitely elevated our stay, couldn't have picked a better ghost to share our room with. Love you bud <3 top hat looks incredible on you

The amazing staff were nothing but accommodating! Asked for an upgrade and the hotelier Allison was phenomenal accommodating our requests. We told them it was our honeymoon and they brought us glasses, champagne, and chocolate, as well as a card with coupons for recommended local amenities. Both the historic part of the hotel and the new part of the hotel are charming!
