Not that there is anything wrong per se but definitely not an open and welcoming environment. If your are looking for a “business” hotel then this will be your jam but other Hotels we have stayed at are way more “normal” and friendly environments. The room itself was beautiful but not a place we will stay at again.

Fun and dog friendly

I was taking a road trip back home and wanted to visit my friend in on the way. Staying in this hotel was like staying in absolute luxury the food was amazing and the view from my room was immaculate. The room was clean the bathroom was big and fancy. My dog also had a great time conning the front desk ppl into giving her all of the treats

Staff was excellent. Hotel property is a nice mix of new and old historic hotel. More attention needs to be given to cleanliness: bathroom vanity, floors, bar top in breakfast area and outside perimeter.
