This hotel offers a unique historical charm and friendly staff, making it a wonderful stay overall. However, we faced some discomfort due to the lack of air conditioning in our room, especially during a hot day. The excellent dining options and great atmosphere made up for it, but it's probably better suited for cooler seasons.

My stay at this historic hotel left much to be desired. While the bed was comfortable and the room was clean, I had persistent issues with heating and hot water, which made the experience quite frustrating. Plus, the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms and the early shut down of lobby services left me feeling inconvenienced. Overall, it wasn’t worth the hassle despite some positive aspects.

This hotel has a charming old-fashioned vibe with friendly ownership and well-kept public areas. The dining experience was delightful, though on the pricier side with smaller portions. The room I stayed in was comfortable but showed some signs of aging, suggesting it could benefit from a refresh. Overall, it’s a nice place, and I would stay again, but I might look for something closer to town next time.
