One front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Another person seemed helpful at the time, but did not follow through on addressing the electrical issue in my room. Charming historical hotel. Great little bar right in the hotel. Very pretty lobby with fireplaces and seating.

Our stay was truly enjoyable, starting with the lovely and helpful staff. Our room was clean, and we found the hotel itself to be historically very interesting. My husband and I enjoyed our time, meeting a few other guests who added to the visit's charm. We also had the pleasure of sharing the night with a wedding party that held their reception there.
