So…the site itself is in a gorgeous location so if the weather is good you will want to sit outside. The property is an older building and we expected and were fine with that. They seem to want to be a venue space more than a hotel- we knew there might be an event but the thumping music from the DJ travels. There was zero food or beverage available until breakfast- to the point where you cannot even get a soda. The A/C is controlled at the front desk and we’re assuming it was down low because of the event but it was so very cold in our room and there were no extra blankets. I slept in my coat and was miserable. Desk staff were just ok but the one lady who came to the room to fix the cable was very nice. Would not book again.
