This is such a beautiful location to have a mini vacation or any type of get away. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are in some distant place, the peace and tranquility as well as all the history that it brings. I absolutely love the convenience of having many restaurants to choose from as well as lounges and seating areas, you don't have to leave the hotel if you don't want to. You can take a brisk walk around the hotel, take a tour, watch a wedding take place in the chapel. Or walk around the block to the local shops, the library and park. Only drawback is that I am a very light sleeper and depending on where your room is, you may get a lot of noise from either restaurant below, the pool area or the busy street. But you can't beat the quality of rooms and the beds are so comfortable! I would highly recommend for any type of occasion. Or just drop by for dinner at any restaurant. Always have a great time when I go.

How can I start this review??? 🤔 Well to start off what a amazing hotel... this location comes with a amazing story. First the building was built back 1876 and still standing strongly.. The rooms had an fabulous view... all of the employees from the minute you drive in, then when you walk to the inside. We're very helpful with all our needs. Thank you all!!!! This is a perfect place to bring you kids, family or friends. Close to many different restaurants and stores...

We attended an awards banquet here. The venue is beautiful. Our complaint is about the catering format. All the fillets were cooked medium rare. While this is exactly the way I like my steak, many people do not like their steak that pink. I was surprised they didn't have the option to select a preference. Dessert was Casey Cupcakes, which are delicious. However, the catering service chose to use many flavors that people either love or hate. Patrons were not given a choice, just presented a cupcake. Again, I'm easy and like almost everything. But, this was not the experience for most people at my table. I would recommend they change their catering options to allow more advance selections so more people can enjoy the food as much as I did.

Parents were in town so I brought them here for the day. It’s a beautiful historic property, easily spent 2 hours strolling the grounds admiring every little detail. It’s never crowded when I’m here which I love. And the bar has comfortable seating, tastefully decorated. Drinks are consistent. The calamari is fried to perfection. There’s a guided tour if you wanna geek out.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

When is the music turned off? My room is a jazz club and I hate it.

Michael Allen | Aug 22, 2019
Ian Young | Aug 22, 2019

That's funny! We had non-spa music as well while we were waiting for our massage. I think it was the 80s soft pop mix. I definitely remember Lionel Ritchie and Elton John. They apologized, stating they were having trouble with the system. Then during the massage . . . no music. Ask one the attendants . . . I they can fix it, they will.

G Anderson | Aug 22, 2018
Anna Harrington | Aug 22, 2019

Top floor away from the pool/street -- a street restaurant played music until 2am the last time I was there and kept me awake. Also the AC in the room is old and loud, and the walls are thin--overall, not a quiet hotel at all.
