We were a bit surprised when we had to walk up a set of stairs with no elevator to get to our room 216 way at the back of the hotel.
The hotel was lovely and the meals and eating areas were superb.

Hotel has several amenities, including pool (in separate building), outdoor event space, and is part of a walking trail covering historic points of interest. Restaurants on site were good.
Not walkable to outside restaurants/stores.

Great for a long weekend!
We stayed for a long weekend as a family. The reception and restaurant were really nice and modern. The rooms however need a renovation, bit outdated. Still comfortable and all one needed. All staff were super friendly and our kid received a cookie and milk every later afternoon which was super special.
