Overall good. Great location, and wonderful history surrounding this hotel and the setting. We had some issues with our room, both tv's did not work. We let the front desk know, they came up immediately to check it out. They were not able to get the tv's to work so they moved us to another room where everything worked. I commend the staff for quickly responding and accomodating us due to the situation.

Lady at the front desk was very nice. The building is very old so don't expect it to be anything like a new hotel but it's nice for how old it is. My only complaint is that the bed made a lot of noise so moving around or rolling over in the night might wake up the other person.
From the second story balcony that's open until 10pm
