Loved this historic hotel. The photographs throughout the hotel and beautiful grounds showed the history wonderfully. The staff was very welcoming and pleasant. We found the beds to be incredibly comfortable. Only two small suggestions. The complementary breakfast was nice, but there wasn’t much to it. Some eggs and a breakfast meat addition would be nice. If you wanted to promote it as complimentary and not loose money, maybe up the hotel nightly price by $10 - $20. Last suggestion, we had room 231, which was a lovely room but it overlooked the outer staircase which had a bright outdoor light and clear view of the staircase. If the window was open and curtain closed partially it did nothing to block either due to the direction that it opened, right to left. If it had been built to open left to right, light and privacy problem would have been solved.

Great location and a lot of history as a very old property. Needs on going maintenance but comfortable and situated on wonderful grounds with easy parking. A nice place to stay when visiting town. Restaurant good but continental breakfast offered is basic.

Great location with easy access to the thermal springs, trails, and restaurants. Room was comfortable and clean. No lift/elevator so lugging the heavy suitcase up the stairs was a bit of a chore.

It was a lovely stay however I feel it should be more wheel chair accessible or have some sort of alternative for the stairs.

Staff were really helpful assisting my husband with disability issues. In that respect we were disappointed however that there was no lift to carry heavy luggage. The garden setting is lovely and quiet, set well off the street.
