The best about the Elk is the location. But our room left a lot to be desired. Running toilet, no hot water and an air conditioner/heater that whistled all night long. The staff were helpful and even offered a discount, which we weren’t looking for, so we appreciated the gesture. But not the elegance we thought we would get with this property. We also had dinner at Farm and Fire. The food was fabulous but the service was the worst we’ve seen. Wrong plates and not one bit of urgency to fix, never checked on us or poured wine, the main course showed up with starter plates still on the tiny table and no one around to pick them up or give us new plates and cutlery for our sharing meal. And a very nice but really terrible server. We wondered if it was his first day because he just got so much wrong. If it wasn’t for the food itself, we would have walked out.
