Debra

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Air conditioning unit was right over the head of the bed-felt like I was catching a cold every morning when I woke up. Had to leave it on constantly cause humidity was so high and no windows in the room. Bathroom faucet was clogged so it took a long time to drain. It said breakfast on their website, but it amounted to snacks. False advertising. Was not a good visit at all and will never stay there again

A very nice, well-maintained historic hotel. You’re not going to get all of the spaciousness and amenities associated with a new-built franchised hotel, but that’s not why you’re staying here.
