The hotel was beautiful, clean and very accommodating. They have their own restaurant and the food was very good. The offer things that we had no idea would be there,hair salon, massage, mani and pedi services. The parking was a bit challenging though. They also charge a fee of $18 per night's stay for parking and there is no parking on the street without first going to the city government to register your vehicle in order to park on the street side otherwise they would tow your vehicle away.

Hotel is located in an historic building. All the rooms still have door locks that use a key. The key to my room did not fit properly. Only after the 4th trip to my room did staff conclude there might be a problem. Parking was an additional $18. I did not get specific instructions nor were instructions on the post for using key card in lot. Had to drive back around in pouring rain for exact info. Room was clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable. Small kitchenette. Coffee in room was much better than most hotels and there was enough for 3 cups.

Before choosing, I read many reviews. Most said they had trouble with their rooms not being ready at check-in(3pm), and that the staff was unenthusiastic, borderline rude/useless. I found all of this to be true. I arrived an hour after check in to avoid having to wait, but was told my room hadn't been cleaned,and that it would only take 10-15mins I could wait and he wud call when the room was ready. After sitting in my car for a half an hour I went in to find the front desk guy had disappeared. So we headed up to the room which was still being cleaned (4:45). When the cleaning lady finally left we couldn't get into the room..we were told nothing upon "check-in" about backwards locks. Finally we got into the room. The carpet was filthy, the sink stunk like rotten eggs, and there were pubic hairs all over BOTH bathrooms. I actually grabbed my lysol out of my car and cleaned myself. The maid never came back so we had 8 towels for 2 people/2 days in a whirlpool suite. We had 1 garbage bag, 1 roll of toilet paper.Conclusion-they are not concerned about the cleanliness of their rooms or guests. But there were 2 make-up removing towelettes..lol Parking was another nightmare. I misplaced the RIF chip card to enter the parking lot (for just a few hours) So I went to the front desk for help and was told if I don't have the card,I don't have a spot. Even though I paid cash upon check-in for BOTH days. So then I was afraid to leave.She offered a refund of $10 ($18/day) Choose Wisely

Exceeded expectations. Rooms are clean, spacious, and lovely, the hotel is dotted with so many original details, it's quite charming. Staff nice, restaurant on site delicious Would have liked a view of the lake, but that's me being super picky.
