The front desk in the evening can improve. Better communication and knowledge about rooms …
Beds are too small I don’t think they’re queen at all. The water pooled in the shower

I’m in my third room because the first one had no working phone and no working tv. The room was still in the process of being remodeled. It had the carpeting removed and thrown out the window in the rain. The second room had no working tv and again was in the process of being remodeled. The third room has a smaller bed.
Love this historic hotel. Well maintained, clean and lots of charm. Great food and drinks.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The place was spacious and full of surprises at every corner. There are so many events that are put on at this place, options for places to get good spirits (drinks), great historic items there and the staff are amazing. Thank you Dennis and Jimmy for a great experience, your professionalism and fun conversations. Only thing we found that needed attention was our room door was not in a good condition. Next year our car group (SoCal Celicas) will definitely try to host our event at this gorgeous place.

Clean with good employee attitudes - the shampoo etc was not remarkable but available. Room info said all rooms had bathtub stools - not so, only accessible noted rooms and additional dollars to reserve - why the penalty>
I was denied my stay and was denied my money back I had reservations for 3 nights and they placed me on a DNR list for no reason . I was unaware of this and they refuse to refund my money back and refuse to be professional and speak to me in the matter
