We had a little staycation and wanted to extend our weekends... The hotel and room is beautifully restored. I wish I had more time to explore all the great historic photographs scattered through the buildings. The room was lovely (on the third floor) with super high ceilings. We were able to enjoy a late night bite at the bar and was able to walk out dog on the grounds. We'd totally would come back.

Great room, great location, great food and drink options. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the shower never got hot. Lukewarm showers kinda suck.
