Wow! Spectacular place.

Awesome! Wonderful hotel, so much detail in everything. Great visit. Even had a small room journal for each guest to write in about their visit & where they had travelled from. Only problem we had was trying to find parking lot late at night being as we were tired. Nice meal at Mahogany Grille & enjoyable drinks at Diamond Belle saloon with ladies dressed in costumes! So much fun!
Beautiful decor even outside of the lift on the fourth floor.

Quaint historic hotel with updates. Very nice rooms. Antiquated but otherwise functional bathrooms. Pleasant public spaces. Excellent location for walking downtown and getting to the railroad. Train departures in the morning will wake light sleepers who aren't going. Extensive parking facilities in adjacent lots (free) so don't really have to use your car at all during your stay or be concerned about parking in town.

Beautiful historic hotel with small rooms. Good dining options...but sadly no breakfast options at all. Great, walkable location. Perfect for easy access to the train depot.

Had to walk from parking area which was not close to hotel with luggage. Not ADA compliant. Was not told ahead of time about the water outage that was from 2am-6am. By the time we left at 7am there was still no water! The staff at check in and check out was non caring about the lack of water. They offered no solution to having no water to even flush a toliet. A partial refund would have been nice since it was not a cheap hotel stay!

Hotel parking not at all customer friendly especially for customers with special needs. Hotel staff made NO accommodation nor any care to do so. In addition, water was not available throughout stay. Hotel made no effort toward compensation.
