The shower in room 227 was either cold or super hot, nothing in between, so we couldn’t shower. The breakfast was supposed to be at 6, it was moved to 7 because they were not ready.

The restaurant here is fantastic. Room was a bit small but comfortable. I wish they had a blanket option instead of the hot down comforter.

Its a beautiful place to stay. The staff is amazing and they are willing to help you as much as possible. The hotel is very clean and was beautifully decorated for Christmas. I felt very safe. The surroundings aren't pretty around the location but i didn't sleep outside. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Great restaurant and bar area. I don't know why it has a 1 star rating. It has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Other reviews indicate the hotel is an excellent place to stay.

Beautiful historical hotel. Best accommodations ever! The best hospitality I have ever had at a hotel. They went of their way to set up a dining area for our dinner since we had our dog with us. Their Pork chop dinner is hands down the best dinner I have had! Beautiful hotel with the most comfortable bed linens too. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is the best. I hope to stay here again on our next road trip.
