They made us pay $25 for a movie. Even a movie from 30 years ago. No smart tvs where I could watch movies I already paid for. No trash cans in game room. Only a night stand between the beds, so person sleeping on outside has no nightstand for water or phone. Only free coffee no fruit. Beds were comfortable. Staff was nice.

The room and bathroom were both spotless, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great. The staff was also friendly and helpful. We loved the hot chocolate bar in the lobby and all the gorgeous Christmas decorations. *I think the beds could really use a comforter/duvet/blanket though. There was no weight to the bedding and it felt like we were just sleeping under a sheet.

Historic property was charming. Bar & restaurant lively & delicious. Three wedding parties made for a noisy stay. Surrounding area was rowdy - would not feel comfortable walking the area at night. Parking was a challenge & valet service was understaffed.
