The National is a beautiful hotel. Great location, fabulous food and both the front porch and back garden style patio were beautiful! Live music by the fire pits made the experience even more enjoyable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to stay again!!!!

The hotel staff was very nice. We enjoyed eating our breakfast out on the front porch and people watching. Great location. Our room was disappointing...the dresser drawers were stuck and hard to open and close, the cable TV was only basic channels, and the bathroom was very small and dated...shower water would go cold which was not good.
