What a great place to stop on our road-trip. This historic hotel has old world charm. The lobby was grand and welcoming, the rooms were quaint and comfortable and the lush outdoor courtyard was the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail or morning coffee. I appreciated the very well lit parking lot and felt safe leaving my fully packed car there. The restaurant amd bar were closed when we arrived late but had complimentary morning breakfast before resuming our drive. I'll definitely stay here again!
