Great stay here. The place is older - not easy to find an electrical outlet in the room, and no USB ports like newer hotels offer, for example - but beautiful nonetheless. The room was clean and quiet. Had to stop at the restaurant for the Hot Brown which was delicious. Overall a great hotel.

The room was good, needed a bit of cleaning like the windows and vents, same with the lobby definitely needed some cleaning, but the staff were wonderful, the hotel has good placement, the food credit i got only said 1 day on it rather than throughout my stay so i didnt end up using because i was too tired that day, but otherwise a good hotel.

If you’re interested in historical stays in places that have restored/kept up with the original architecture, then The Brown would be an excellent place. We loved all the architecture and would say don’t be afraid to explore the hotel as a whole. The staff were wonderful, the food was exquisite, and the cleanliness was good. There was however, a build up of dust on some of the pictures throughout but some is to be expected.

It was like traveling back in time, With an elegance lost in many modern hotels. The Brown has a luxury hotel feel and doesn’t compromise modern amenities so that our stay could be very comfortable.
