Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We weren’t sure what to expect; would it be two grand and would it feel pretentious? Not at all! It is a five star hotel and deserves that distinguished rating. Every detail is beautifully thought out. The staff are warm and friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. It is beautifully decorated and meticulously maintained, so we gave it five stars in every category, except for one. On the subject of eco-friendliness, we gave it a four because, after all, extreme luxury really isn’t compatible with environmental sensibility. One detail that surprised us and I suppose disappointed us was that the windows in our “luxury suite” were very dirty. Ideally, they would be sparkling clean. It is a gracious place and we hope to come back when we are in the area again.

Everything was really good, really nice staff, perfect Southern hospitality and the classical beauty of the grand lobby always thrills us. There was only one small thing, the bartender didn’t want to serve us a night cap and it wasn’t 11 o’clock (closing time) when we got to the hotel after a dinner. I did make a comment to the gentleman at the front desk and I expected at least a comment about it when we checked out. It didn’t happen. But in general the stay was excellent
