Staff was friendly and informative. For a hotel that is 120 years old it seems to have aged well. The only thing I would of liked is a grab bar to help step into the deep tub. We are seniors and little things like that would be appreciated.

This is a historic hotel from the early 1900s. It’s a very beautiful place. As long as you are not expecting a modern vibe you will be pleased. I intend to go back someday. I enjoyed my stay.
