We had an amazing stay at the Strater Hotel! The hotel is very historic and is so nice.The staff was incredibly helpful. We scheduled some time in the hot tub which was lovely!

The hotel was beautiful and clean. The room was clean and I loved that there was information in the room about the name on the door. We ate at the Mahogany grill that was delicious! Then sat at the Diamond belle saloon and listened to the piano play! Everything about this stay was amazing from the employees to the atmosphere. I loved it!
