My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spotlessly clean and offered a perfect view, making me feel like I wasn't in a hotel at all. The architecture and furnishings were full of old-time charm, creating a large and captivating space to stay in. The staff was incredibly welcoming and genuine, creating a warm and accommodating atmosphere even during these trying times. The location was beautiful and well-maintained, with friendly staff members like Michael making my experience even more enjoyable. However, the snow wasn't cleared well enough for easy parking. The dining experience was a significant bonus, offering a wide variety of delicious food. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly kind and helpful. The location was beautiful and peaceful, set in a lovely residential area with plenty of parking. The dining experience was a bit on the simple side but still excellent. Overall, a wonderful hotel with just a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were stocked with all the necessities for my whole stay and featured a huge walk-in shower and whirlpool, although it was a bit cold when we arrived. The service was exceptional, with staff who were fun, friendly, and available no matter the time of day. The location, while excellent to downtown, unfortunately felt quite shady compared to the rest of the town. The dining experience was outstanding on the veranda, overlooking the roses and other plantings, but there was some disappointment with the selection. Overall, the facilities were top-notch, making for a pleasant stay.
