The historic feel, but still maintained well and VERY clean. Staff was nice as well. I really like the upgrades, and hope to try the restaurant next time. Hoping they will start allowing dogs back sometime, if they can sort it out bit still had a great stay.

Love this hotel! Very comfortable & clean. I was graciously upgraded to a suite for my stay and the room was amazing. This may not be the place for children but for a cozy, restful stay in a place with historic charm, it’s top notch and my absolute favorite stop.
