Room was cleaned but some dust build up on one side of the nightstand lamp and a couple loose hairs around the sink. A/C was not working properly. Thermostat would show temp of 70 but it was warm in the room so turned it down to 68. Room then got cold but stat still showed 68 and A/C didn’t turn off. Raised set temp to 69. A/C then never came on although room was warm. Stat showed temp of 70. Turned set temp down to 66 but A/C never kicked on leaving the room too warm all night long.

A beautiful very old hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was a little small but we only stayed in room to shower and sleep. We went with another couple so there were several gathering rooms where we could meet to talk , play cards, etc. Restaurant in hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Really great stay except the coffee in the morning availability. Coffee in the room is not great, consider setting up complimentary coffee station in the lobby. Most hotels do....otherwise the hotel charm was fantastic
