The room is described as a luxury room. It was a nice room, but not nearly luxury. The coffee maker was cheap with paper cups and bad coffee. Water cups were paper, and only one bathrobe was provided. We expected better given the room description.

The hotel is historic and beautiful. You feel like you’ve been transported back in time which is a cool feeling. Staff was nice, dinner at the restaurant was exceptional. They also had a hot chocolate station which was cute. The beds… not luxurious so as long as you don’t have back problems or are a sensitive sleeper you should be ok.
