A beautiful very old hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was a little small but we only stayed in room to shower and sleep. We went with another couple so there were several gathering rooms where we could meet to talk , play cards, etc. Restaurant in hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Really great stay except the coffee in the morning availability. Coffee in the room is not great, consider setting up complimentary coffee station in the lobby. Most hotels do....otherwise the hotel charm was fantastic

I have been going to Boone Tavern on and off for 35 years. I miss that they made you feel special by everyone having the robes. I didnt even have the complimentary waters that have been there. I love this place due to nostalgia of what it once was
