• Did have a historic feel.

“Charming feel with weird layout. Rooms were reasonable size, but heating units were louder than average. Not bad, but didn't exceed expectations.”

• Nice common rooms, tap room, outdoor patio dining room.
• No complaints.

“This hotel has everything. We were on limited time so we didn't get to use the beautiful pool but it looked great. The dining room is gracious and inviting. Staff is very friendly and competent”

• Pool was clean.
• This hotel is old and outdated but not in a quaint way more like a tower of terror lobby.

“No guest service. When we pulled up no offer to help with bags. Even after we went to desk no offer. It smelled musty and old. Bathrooms are old and need upgrade.”

• All the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.
• Old section was old and smelled musty.

“The service was excellent. The atmosphere is better than any other hotel in the area. The old section is just that, old. The sheets felt like they had been in use since the Inn opened in the 30's. It could be a gem, but is sorely in need of updating.”

• I enjoyed the historic charm and cleanliness.
• The fitness center was small. Not many available exercises.

“The food is good, but over priced. The lounges and restaurants are nice. Hotel staff is friendly. My only complaint in this area is that the housekeeping staff doesn't speak English. I liked that the hotel has history. A very pleasant looking hotel.”

• The history and close location to business site.
• Water pipes loud when other rooms were using facilities and towels were rough.

“Hotel Staff were very friendly. Room was small but comfortable for one. Very interesting history and celebrity named rooms added a mystique to the stay.”

• The ambiance and grounds were splendid.
• Room was very small and the carpet felt very dirty.

“Overall, the price of the room was too expensive for the value. The room was nicely appointed and at first blush was worth it, until I started to settle in and found I needed to keep my feet covered, since the carpet felt very dirty, almost sticky. I was awakened at 5 AM by a heavy sewer stench coming from the grounds or street and was unable to go back to sleep. The restaurant was nice, service great, but food mediocre. Never buy an expresso to go, it will taste like to cup they put it in, undrinkable.”

• Great history, staff was helpful.
• Musky smell in room and halls, antique look.

“Staff was great. Hotel has lots of history and must have been huge in the '30s. Clean, quaint room for those driving along the coast, just looking for a place to stay. Old. Although everything is clean and has great history, I was not a fan of the antique look. This might be a plus for many, but wouldn't be out first choice.”
