Great property. Charming, historical hotel.
Pros:

Great historic hotel. Friendly staff. Wonderful restaurant on site.

Cons:

Bed was very comfortable but pillows were a little too large (tall - elevated our heads too much) on our most recent stay.

See above
Pros:

There was little to no breakfast, barely a muffin and coffee. The afternoon person at the desk, Kari, was terrific. The restaurant was ok, but overpriced.

Cons:

The worst of it was no elevator and walking/carrying bags up 3 flights of stairs. Nowhere that I recall did I see anything about no elevator. It needs to read in big, bold type. To boot, the rooms were tiny and the temp was cold without ability to control it.

Sacahawea stay.
Pros:

Beautiful historic hotel. Staff was welcoming and the reception was friendly.

Cons:

The bathtub was dirty with salts and graining substance over the bottom. The heaters were dirty and dusty to the point we did not feel comfortable using them because of the odor and fire risk. So the room became cold. The wall heater did not get heat down to the bed level. There was no smoke alarm in the room but the wiring hung from the ceiling.

No sleep will be had here
Pros:

What a lovely place, charming and cozy! The champagne and lavender towel upon check-in is a nice little touch. Loved sitting on the front porch as well!

Cons:

So unfortunate that this hotel allows such obnoxiously loud music/karaoke in the bar downstairs. It was not a pleasant evening of sleep. Even with earplugs we were unable to sleep until after 1am. Not something that is acceptable for a hotel room you book to sleep in. Especially for the cost of stay.

Pros:

The hotel, in general. All of it.

Cons:

They were having a heat wave when I was there and the room had a 5,000 btu A/C unit, so it was a little warm. But I was ok with it.
