“Staying here is an experience; I noted the staff's unobtrusive attentiveness, balancing helpfulness with respect for privacy. The spacious executive rooms, complete with jacuzzi baths, stand out, and the hotel's acceptance of unusual guests, like a Harris Hawk, reflects a generous spirit. While some areas show their age, the historic atmosphere, possibly enhanced by a resident ghost, is undeniably present.”
