Wow, what a gorgeous time capsule from the early 20th century. This inn was beautiful with so much character. The staff was lovely, the bar and restaurant were great, and the surroundings were fabulous.

5.0

The restaurant

No coffee maker in the room, spotty WiFi, no ice maker on the floor, to much furniture in the room making the room very crowded. It’s a get away hotel not a traveling hotel.

It's an old place and has a lot of character. Compy bed Complimentary cherry in the room, which is a nice touch.

The old and musty smell in the room forced us to leave both windows open all night. Front desk service was unpleasant. We also made the mistake and went to the restaurant which was a bad experience. There was a big party at the same time and we had to wait more than 40 minutes to our main course (!!!), that were mediocre at best. They did give us a free desert to compensate for that but server was hostile after we complained about the delay. Over all vey expensive restaurant with food quality and service that don't justify the price.
