Hotel was very nice, super pretty inside and out. Was a bit bummed about the hot tub not being hot, but I watched them fill it in the morning and figured it wouldn't be real hot till late. At least I know for a fact it was clean! The steam and sauna are incredible!

Charming and sophisticated property. Close to many dining options. Lovely bar. Love the steam room, dry sauna, and huge hot tub. Great choices for breakfast. Amazingly friendly staff! Will stay here again in the near future and highly recommend for it’s unique atmosphere!

Beautiful hotel and everything felt luxurious! The gentleman at the front desk did an excellent job of making our stay special and went above and beyond, which you rarely experience nowadays. I would highly recommend!

The hotel was beautiful and smelled so nice! We really enjoyed our couple’s massage. We walked a little over a block to a great Italian restaurant. Car felt safe in the parking garage across the street. Front desk staff was incredibly kind

This property is fabulously restored and glamorous. The staff was lovely and paid attention to every detail. The only thing, imho, to improve- the gym. :)

Staff was friendly and helpful. They have pretty much anything you would need in the room which was nice. The bed was comfortable and linens were nice. Everything was clean and pretty well kept, the only thing that wasn’t was some peeling wallpaper in the bathroom. But the hotel staff told me that they were in the process of replacing all of in it pieces. Overall, great place and definitely would stay there again.

Loved the location. Easy parking right across the street. Did not see other guests it was great. No kids running up and down halls. We loved our fireplace. The beds are very comfy. Wonderful tall windows. We were on a corner room. It was noisy all night during the work day. Only that was the only negative. Breakfast was ok. Could have been fresher even at 8 am. Nespresso machine did not have any chocolate options. And by next morning they ran out of yogurt parfaits.

It was fine. Parking is not ideal. Breakfast was subpar. Rooms were fine other than a tub in a suite. Things are styled the way they are but the carpet needs to be updated and paint scheme is just too dark.
