Historic inn

Check-in was easy but clerk was not overly helpful. The hotel is very nice, our room was comfortable but very small. The shower water leaked through the door causing water to pool on the floor. Although my hubby tried to clean it up, I slid and fell on the floor. Luckily I caught myself so didn’t get hurt

Overall, the hotel was beautiful, rooms were modern and clean. Pillows however were not very comfortable and somewhat small. Hotel grounds were the best part of our visit.

The suite pictured on the website has two rooms. The one we were allocated had only one. The elevator only goes to the third floor, so if you are on the foirth- as we were - you are left to drag your luggage up a long flight of stairs. The room was tidy but the bathroom smelled of urine. The walls were thin, so you could hear everyone coming and going. To use the gum, you have to sign out a key and hike uphill to a different building.
