Great historical building.
Pros:

It was an absolutely beautiful facility. We love the pool! We absolutely loved the coffee! The restaurant on site is spectacular as well.

Cons:

I wish the breakfast options were included in the price of the room and a little bit better laid out. Parking probably shouldn't be as expensive it as it is.

It was an alright hotel, however the services left little desire to come back
Pros:

The location was great for being in the downtown area and it was close to restaurants. The room was spacious and clean which was great for three people without it feeling crowded. Most of the staff were kind and helpful. The kids love the free cookies that were provided at night, however they had to be there before the schedule time since they ran out very fast. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was great, breakfast was a different story. Waiter was attentive and helpful even though it was busy and food was great.

Cons:

The shuttle service was not so great, first they didn't have a list of locations that they went to so you had to ask and they sometimes didn't state all locations. When asking about the availability of the shuttle service, I was told as long as they had enough staff it would be available. However, multiple times I asked and they said either the staff was on break or it wasn't running. The one time I requested a pick up, I waited 40 mins to be picked up and even when I reach out multiple times for an ETA was met with they are on their way, I was only about a 5 min drive from the hotel. Also the laundry that guest could use required coins to work however their coin machine was not working so could not use it. I went to the restaurant to breakfast one morning and I would not return. I waited 30 mins to see a waiter and he kept forgetting my order, the place was not busy, most of the customers were already eating or finishing up.

Pros:

Great location for downtown events with on-site parking (extra $$). Great pool area with hot tub, ping pong and lots of seating. Appreciated the filtered water near the ice machine and the coffee machine in the lobby.

Cons:

Only real complaint was lack of hotv water and water pressure in the morning. It was fine at other, less busy, times of day.
