A little chilly

We enjoyed our stay at the Brown Hotel but they were having maintenance issues with their heating system so unfortunately our room was freezing. Both restaurants were wonderful.

Luxury Hotel?

Room wasn’t ready for our check in at 5:15, no offers of compensation for delay. Front desk didn’t answer phone calls. Bathroom has wallpaper coming off and stains on ceiling. Overall, it was dated old and depressing.
