Great hotel bad customer service
I Love the property and am a returning customer since 2009. The hotel is so beautiful and the food is amazing. The bar tenders and restaurant staff need to enhance the level of their customer service otherwise it impacts the hotel’s business unfortunately

Tried it for the sake of saying I did
“Historic” is a nice way to say old, eclectic, and in need of maintenance. No way to darken room from bright porch lights. Shower head broken. Room amenities not really up to expectations. Beds were worn and not supportive.

Beautiful and unique property
We will definitely be back. We loved everything about it. The restaurants were great (though I wouldn't say the filet was the best I've ever had, as some of the reviews stated). Cute items in the stores. The room was beautiful and clean. We stayed in 141, the Madonna Suite.
