The malfunctioning a/c upon our arrival and the smaller than advertised pull out couch both put a damper on our stay. Interesting if creepy history for the place as an asylum for the insane and prison until as late as 2003 something we knew about in advance.

The property was historically interesting, but still has a bit of an “institutional” feel about it. The reason for the average rating mostly comes from the fact that it was challenging for me to manage bringing in the necessary bags and equipment that support my husband’s needs as a stroke survivor. I did use the bellman’s cart, which helped, but then it was difficult getting into the elevator and manage pushing the cart, then helping him to enter with his walker. When I had called to be sure that there was a restaurant on sight I was told yes, so it was a disappointment to find out that it is only open for dinners on the weekends. The young lady who prepared breakfast was most helpful, and even offered to carry my husband’s breakfast to our room, as I had my hands full. I greatly appreciated her help.

The front entrance to the hotel is confusing - my GPS didn't bring me in the road in front of the property so it took me awhile to find where to check in. There was no designated parking for check in and two sets of steps to walk up so not handicapped accessible that I could see. Same for parking by the hotel. It's not far but there were no ramps, only steps and a small one way road that I guess you could pull up and unload your suitcases but it would block the road completely. I had two rolling suitcases and other equipment and it wasn't easy to unload without making two trips.

We booked a queen bed for our anniversary. Turned out it was a full bed instead. It was so small and my boyfriend had to sleep in the floor because it was so uncomfortable. We left at 430 am on the second night because we couldn’t take it anymore.
