The hotel was neat. I enjoyed the history behind it. The bed was a bit soft for me but I made do. Curious as to why the room was slanted but it did not appear that the building from the outside was slanted. Just a curious observation.

Overall good. Great location, and wonderful history surrounding this hotel and the setting. We had some issues with our room, both tv's did not work. We let the front desk know, they came up immediately to check it out. They were not able to get the tv's to work so they moved us to another room where everything worked. I commend the staff for quickly responding and accomodating us due to the situation.
