Pros:

The breakfast was decent, with a good variety of options, and the staff was helpful and welcoming. The hot breakfast included potatoes, eggs, bacon, sausages, and pancakes, along with a waffle-making station. There were also breads, cheese, juices, coffee, and tea, providing a satisfying selection to start the day.

Cons:

After checking in, we encountered an issue, but the staff handled it promptly and professionally. They upgraded us to a better room, which we really appreciated. While the cleanliness of the room still left some room for improvement, the beautiful view helped make up for it and made our stay more enjoyable.

Pros:

Great location, clean rooms, good breakfast, and nice staff.

Cons:

One elevator broke Friday evening, so there was only one working elevator all weekend because the elevator repair company they use only works weekdays. In an effort to go green, they've put motion sensors in the rooms. We didn't move enough in our sleep and the AC cut off. I woke up at 2 am sweating like crazy. I had to get up and walk around the room for the AC to come back on. The next day, I hung the plastic laundry bag in front of the air vent and sensor so the AC wouldn't shut off after 3 hours of no movement

Nice atmosphere but noisy on a rainy day
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and the building had a nice ambience. It was totally walkable to the fall.

Cons:

We could see an exposed water pipe on the ceiling, and because of the rain, the noise from the pipe was awful during the night, waking us up many times. We were staying in a room on the second floor, but it felt like we were lying just beneath a waterfall. We were worried the pipe might burst. Fortunately, the noise stopped after the second day once the weather cleared.

The manager and the assistant manager were amazing. My husband fell off his wheelchair before he even got inside the bui
Pros:

The property was beautiful and set in a very walkable area. The historic beauty of the building was a joy to stay in while enjoying the modern amenities.

Cons:

The only thing about the property that I would love to see address is the handicapped room is not truly a handicap room for someone in a wheelchair. To get around the room there was not a lot of space and the bathroom shower did not have a handheld shower to give a shower to my husband.
