Nice old hotel. Worth visiting.

Nice old hotel. Awesome location. Great staff. Very helpful. Clean. Convenient restaurant set in the hotel. Couple of inconveniences: First night, fire alarm went off and needed service. My wife and daughter complained about the bed being not very comfortable. It was fine for me. Little tricky to set the air conditioned. It takes some trial and error to find the optimal balance. Nothing big. Breakfast was great. Recommended.

It's an older hotel, but it was clean and charming. Super well located with all sorts of amenities in the vicinity. Front desk was very nice; some of the restaurant staff a little awkward. Breakfast (not included) was decent. It was busy with events (bridal showers, birthday parties) but it was quiet. Beds were comfy.

It's an old hotel, part of the Historical hotels of America, The hotel itself is beautiful, though needs some beautification here or there. My room- not so much . It was extremely small and with a view towards the other wing. The bathroom even smaller ! Quite disappointing- for $ 255 a night ! The wait in the morning for breakfast was beyond ridiculous, as they were short staffed.
