Lovely, historic hotel. If only the town had a little more to offer of visitor.

9.0

The decor touches featuring old photos and framed items was neat. I loved the courtyard in the fountain. I found the restaurant lighting to be a little harsh/bright. Fabulous breakfast spread that I got to enjoy before departing the next morning.

− A little tricky navigating my luggage from the car using your luggage cart and having to go around uneven surfaces to the front of the building. Perhaps some ramps from the parking lot to the rear hotel door, could be a solution in the future.

Front Desk Step Up

6.0

The hotel is great with lot of character, nothing but praise for the value of such a gem. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The restaurant is superb. The waitresses are friendly and accommodating. We had a great quality meals, thank you chefs. My one complain is the lack of approachability by the staff at the front desk. They do not smile or welcome you, they behave as if they are doing you a favor. They barely greet you and eye contact is minimal, its very unprofessional and uncomfortable. They set the standard for the experience we guest will have and they failed. If they do not want to welcome guest, they shouldn't be in the hospitality industry, more importantly, working the front desk of a hotel.

Historic, clean and lovely

This is a clean, beautiful, historic hotel with large rooms, comfortable beds and a healthy, fresh continental breakfast. Couldn't have asked for more and will be staying again!

Wonderful customer service and beautiful historic surroundings!

10.0

Wonderful customer service and beautiful surroundings! We appreciated our friendly welcome! Our room was steps away from the lobby, and very quiet. The room wasn’t huge, but all of our luggage could be tucked out of the way. I liked sitting outside and enjoying the fountain area, it was rainy, but there were a couple benches by the door that were covered. They have a cute little retail shop with souvenirs, clothing items, sundries, and snacks. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant, it was amazing, I plan to review it separately. I was surprised by the included Breakfast, because others had said it was just a Continent Breakfast served in the Lobby. This was not the case during our stay, there a wonderful array of breakfast foods set up self serve in the Restaurant area. Staying in a beautiful historic building was just a few dollars more than staying in a generic place on motel row. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the National Parks in the area.
