The Elms is for sure a must stay destination. The staff went the extra mile all the time. The historical charm was a big draw. The property was so beautiful to walk around. Out door pool was closed for the season but that will bring us back during the summer. The hot tub is open until midnight. We used the spa and it was worth it. The city is fun to stroll through and explore the historic downtown.

The chlorine from Spa and laundry was all over the atmosphere and towels, was horrible where we had to change the room, and not be around the Spa. Another thing that attracted us to go to the Elm hotel was the indoor gym and tubs and pool which were 2 floors or more under ground without elevator, hence you’d have to go up the stairs where neither wife nor I could do it, hence decided not to use it. The mattress was sagging in the middle- nothing could be done about it. We decided to do early check out after 1 day instead of 4 days. The manager asked to pay for the 1 day with $50 credit - Thanks. We drove around the hotel, a nice old and quiet neighbourhood. Friendly environment. It’s a getaway at an a historic place-not modern, some people may like.
