"Beautiful hotel with charming historical flavor! Some updates would be more desirable The rugs in the room were a little musty and the single pillows were flat. Bed was however comfortable and the room was very spacious. Walk in closet but only one robe also there wasn’t any waters in the room. The food and signature drinks were amazingly good. You can’t leave this hotel before trying the famous Hot Brown. "
