Unique property with history. We had a wonderful stay, with no problems. All rooms are different, ours was basic with jetted tub. Other's I saw were much more spacious, but no major issue with that, for a quick weekend stay. Every employee we had contact with was wonderful. Will stay again.

We love the character in ambience of the entire hotel, and the bar downstairs is a hidden gem and a favorite every time we stay. We also love the great restaurants nearby, and particularly recommend the montage.
