Wonderful place to stay if you don’t have a car.
Pros:

The hotel was charming with stunning views. The room was very nice and the walk in shower was a bonus. It was fun to stay in such a historic hotel.

Cons:

The parking was atrocious with only 15 or so spots for such a large facility. We had to park quite a distance down the hill and carry our luggage up a fair distance.

Nice stay
Pros:

The staff are extremely courteous and nice. Comfiest mattress and pillow I've ever slept on. We are at the hotel and the food was very nice.

Cons:

The hotel is in desperate need of modernization, but if you can ignore that and look at the positives then you'll have a nice stay.
