Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a historical feel to them, which added to their charm, but there was a noticeable musty smell that lingered. The fitness center left much to be desired with only one treadmill and one elliptical machine. On the other hand, the service was exceptional, with staff members who were truly wonderful and accommodating. The location was ideal for exploring the downtown area, offering easy access to historic sites. Dining had its highs and lows, with some delicious options and some disappointments. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
