It was an amazing location, great service, 5* clean, and the water pressure was prefect!
Pros:

The hotel was clean on outside and salted as we did this visit in the winter.

Cons:

If there anything about this property it would that I couldn’t get movie channels on time.

Side note, lots of sports channels which made it a lot better.

Overpriced and tremendously disappointing.
Pros:

The property grounds were impressive.

Cons:

The building our room was very big and not well signed for us to find our actual room. It was a long walk from the entrance to our room. Our room was disappointing. No bigger than a college dorm room. Bathroom was not much better. For the money we spent it was totally overpriced.

There's hope with a makeover.
Pros:

The property is spectacular in its structure and grounds. We also liked that it was historical.

Cons:

Our room felt like we were in a long term care facility. It was in desperate need of a refresh. Also quite dark.
I don't know how to describe the bathroom except to say that I did not want to go in there. The shower, again, like a long term care facility.
