This property is old and dated basically worn out. The toilet in our room is so close to the sink we cannot use it in the sitting position. The furniture is old and sone nice antique pieces but all the chairs need restuffing. We could not use the ac in our room it was too loud to sleep or have a conversation on arrival they put us in the lesser garage room than we had booked and it took a lot of conversation to get it changed and they blamed Expedia for everything.

This is a historic hotel and is an interesting place to stay. I highly recommend it. The restaurant was good and it was convenient that it was in the hotel and we didn’t have to leave the property.
