Checked in late evening and room was freezing 63 degrees. We asked front desk and they told us they control the temperatures. We asked to have it at 72-73 degrees. A couple hours later and many phone calls she couldn’t get it to work and there was no way we could stay in this freezing room so she said she would move us to another room that had heat down there hall. So at midnight we are going back and forth from one room to the other moving all our stuff. The next morning we get a call from front desk not asking how everything was or if we were ok but to say they were going to have to move us back to the first room!! Their only concern was that the room we were in was booked for the day. I’ve never experienced such terrible customer service. I said I wasn’t going to pack up again and shuffle around from room to room. We were told they WE would have to leave then if we wouldn’t move out of that room. Truly unbelievable!! We left and booked another hotel that was beautiful AND you could control the temperature in your room. I would never go here or recommend to anyone

This hotel is beautiful! I felt like I was in a scene in an old movie... I heard fun stories from the locals about Al Capone's visits and his suite on the top floor... (Not sure if that is true) ... The location is spot on, and the views were amazing from our 6th floor room. The coffees at Carolines were amazing. We will definitely be staying here again if we are back in the area.

I’m giving it a 4 bc while location was good, history of hotel interesting, Also, beds slept great. I think it’s time for a refresh. The curtains in our room were stained. And curtain liner had holes in it. Bathroom mirror and vanity were scarfed up, need to be painted, or replaced. Even base of bedside lamp had old age grunge in the cracks/seams. Outlet in bathroom did not work. Pool area had a large hole in the ceiling. This hotel has huge potential, just needs some love.

The hotel is beautiful and so full of history. They have kept it up and made updates to keep it with the times but still remain timeless. The pool was fantastic, the hot tub was divine, Caroline's candied bacon, whooooaaaa! We only ate breakfast there but even those drinks were fun! We can't wait to go back.
