Its a beautiful place to stay. The staff is amazing and they are willing to help you as much as possible. The hotel is very clean and was beautifully decorated for Christmas. I felt very safe. The surroundings aren't pretty around the location but i didn't sleep outside. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Great restaurant and bar area. I don't know why it has a 1 star rating. It has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Other reviews indicate the hotel is an excellent place to stay.

Beautiful historical hotel. Best accommodations ever! The best hospitality I have ever had at a hotel. They went of their way to set up a dining area for our dinner since we had our dog with us. Their Pork chop dinner is hands down the best dinner I have had! Beautiful hotel with the most comfortable bed linens too. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is the best. I hope to stay here again on our next road trip.

The property, room and staff were outstanding, as usual, however we have noticed, as frequent visitors, over the last few visits that the quality of the restaurant product has deteriorated. My wife and I split the Pistachio Chicken Fried Steak on our last visit, December 2nd, which was overpriced given its toughness, bland taste and barely warm temperature. We highly recommend and strongly request that the menu be changed periodically and that extra effort is taken to make each item offered deliciously seasoned, prepared with excellence and served at the appropriate temperature. Tender, tastefully seasoned entrees which are served hot should be mandatory. A variety of salads, soups and appetizers should also be rotated monthly as well, with some staples such as a good Caesar and Classic Wedge salad. It is our hope you will invest more into the quality and variety of your menu. Thanks

Check-in, the room, and facilities were all excellent. The restaurant has always been an anticipated highlight of our stays here. This time, the food was excellent as usual. The service, however, left something to be desired. Since the restaurant was full, the waitstaff was apparently overwhelmed. It took roughly 15 minutes before anyone came to take our orders. When we finished eating, we waited at least another 15 minutes waiting for our check. I finally flagged down someone, not our waitress, to get the check. Apparently, the restaurant did not have waitresses for a full house. That was the only complaint I had about our stay.
