Thumbs up!!
Rooms are small and consequently there was no room for a chair. The bed was very comfortable though. Hotel was very clean. Staff was very cordial and helpful. We would stay there again. Historical building. Much of the key esthetics have been preserved. English paneling in the elevator. Very tastefully decorated

Amazing stay! We grabbed dinner at the restaurant downstairs because it was convenient, and wow, amazing!! Staff was great. Saw other reviews saying the rooms were “small” but didn’t find that to be the case. Super clean, and comfortable bed. Loved the history and build of the hotel. Will definitely be staying there again if we are anywhere in the area. Only negative had nothing to do with the hotel. Woke up to sirens a couple of times…. Again, nothing to do with the hotel. Highly recommend!! (hotel and restaurant)

Nice stay
The only suggestion I have is to have some fresh food available for breakfast for those of us who are vegetarian. The hotel is really unique and attractive.

The hotel was charming. The downtown area lacked the tourist attractions that would have made for a better experience. Not many people in the area and not many businesses to attract visitors.

This property is beautiful! The rooms are very nicely updated as well. The staff are helpful and the food and service was good. The only issue is the hvac in at least two of the rooms is very loud. We complained and they gave us a room where it was a little quieter but still very loud. If it weren’t for the hvac we would want to go back for a special occasion because the property is that nice.
