2nd Stay - Still impressed!

Our 1st stay was in May 2021 for our wedding night, and we were excited to be back for a friend's wedding to stay again. The rooms are great and clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable. And the staff are very hospitable & respectful. Love it all and will happily come back in the future!

Not as advertised - *Queen suite*. Poorly furnished, poorly lit, rickety Motel 6 style furniture. As I glimpsed the other *Queen suites* on my floor, felt like I'd experienced a true bait and switch. My money and time were poorly spent.

I love staying here for work. Staff is always friendly. The room is always clean. This last time there was a guy yelling in his room late at night, but that is not the hotels fault and it is usually very quiet which is rare for hotels.

I had hoped for a more historic ambiance. While the lobby and bar area were charming, our room was quite small with what appeared to be a full-sized bed and modern wood linoleum flooring—I was expecting classic wooden floors. Additionally, our window faced directly into another room, so we had to keep it closed for privacy. Overall, it didn’t meet my expectations.
