"The hotel is a bit old. It's great if you're looking to stay in a property with a historical aspect. Check-in was troubling. I don't recall on the Hotel's description here on Expedia or on their own website that the deposit was $400 up front. I stayed for 6 days so that should have been around $170. The room I stayed in was okay. The bathroom was small and the furniture was peeling. How you watch TV in the room was a little new which was appealing. You use a Chromecast and then just link your...

"This was my second stay at the property. The location, rooms and staff have been consistently great. The only downside would have to be room noise.

Again, the staff and facilities themselves were fantastic, but be prepared to hear everything...
