Dec 13, 2025

The hotel is historic and beautiful. You feel like you’ve been transported back in time which is a cool feeling. Staff was nice, dinner at the restaurant was exceptional. They also had a hot chocolate station which was cute. The beds… not luxurious so as long as you don’t have back problems or are a sensitive sleeper you should be ok.

Super solid

The first floor restaurant served a yummy lunch one day with perfectly cooked salmon. I enjoyed a cocktail on the second floor at the very ornate bar. The room was very comfortable and the bed was exceptionally nice. Great stay.
