The time I spent at the hotel was very relaxing and if anything was needed the staff was very accommodating. I will definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends. And I will be coming back again to stay in the near future.

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.

I was worried when I walked into the lobby. It smelled a little funny and was small and uninviting but it was actually a really nice hotel. I thought the guest room was great and beautifully done.
