Great location. Well maintained historical site. Nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The valets were very willing to help with recommendations. Jerry was extremely kind and friendly!

The breakfast at the coffee shop wasnโ€™t very good. The waiter was extremely polite and accommodating.
