Attendee an event that ran late. Nowhere in communication did it say you’d lose your room if you didn’t check in by a certain time. Luckily, we called ahead to notify them and our reservation was flagged, but then was told if we’d arrived 10 minutes later, our room would have been given away. Not sure who was looking for a room at 2 am that they would have given ours away. But it would have been nice to have known that.

Good but not great.

Place was clean. Plumbing was perfect. Rooms don't live up to the pictures and were a bit smaller than expected. TVs are small and old.

No USBs

Historic hotel was clean and comfortable, but a bit too historic. There were no USB outlets of any kind and few electrical outlets which limited the ability to charge various electronic devices.

Not perfect this time

The staff was fantastic as aways. Only complaint was that the AC fan in my room was so loud that I couldn't sleep. Needed to stay 1 more night and asked for different room which was great
