The place is not that bad. Certainly over priced. Be careful, there are several hidden fees. Although they you something is complementary, it is in a hidden fee. OUr room was good but very LOUD. HVAC system and plumbing were very noisy. I also had an incident where I was mildly injured in a tripping incident. Very little concern was expressed. I would go back, but will certainly look at several other options before hand. It is not very high on my list.

Wonderful room, all staff friendly and helpful and competent. Food very good, drinks as well. Bathroom SMALL, but that’s a consequence of an historic hotel. Great getaway stay. Thanks to all of you.

A little disappointed with the interior design and furnishings, considering it is a historic hotel. Also, no tub, and no jacuzzi by the pools. Overall, a nice stay and good hotel, but not exactly what we were expecting.
