Hotel stay was excellent, very clean, comfortable bed, and nice amenities. As for the restaurant the food was good. However, customer service could be better and the wait time to receive our food was close to an hour after sitting down and placing our food order quickly.

I had a great big, nicely appointed room with an excellent bathroom. I would have liked a coffee set up in the room and a TV.( No TVs at NE).
The restaurant was excellent, service was a bit slow though

Very unique building. Very old but recent remodel made it quite charming. The room was fantastic, the outdoor patio area 2nd floor was great. Had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and was quite good. Highly recommend
