After a long stressful drive, my arrival was warmly greeted and easy. The classic old school hotel set up was a nice change from the usual cookie cutter style. Every creak of the stairs had character (no elevator).
The room was surprisingly spacious with an unexpected fireplace and large sitting area.
The front desk saved me a seat at the busy bar, after mentioning that I'd be down soon. I enjoyed the on site delicious restaurant, old fashioned bar with a speakeasy feel, and live piano/singing entertainment with my favorite cover songs and feel good vibe.
The manager made it a point to check in a few times and it was clear that they are taking care of a family business, and caring about your stay, not just hired staff.
Great stay, I will be back!
