Room was quite small and the light didn’t work. Had a small lamp for light. Bed was comfortable. Claw foot bath tub was nice for bathing. But the downstairs was beautiful and breakfast was phenomenal.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff provided friendly service and were very knowledgeable of the area. The common areas were wonderful. The social hour was very nice; it was lovely to chat with other guests. We stayed in room number #6. It was suitable for one night but more attention to the details that make for an exceptionally comfortable stay is needed (deep cleaning, dusting, repairing things that don’t work, making the bed property). My allergies were thoroughly activated. We didn’t complain because the staff was so kind & there was a “pardon our dust while we renovate” sign. We might consider staying in the future in a different room, but I can’t recommend the #6 room. By the way, breakfast was also excellent.
