"It was very nice."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
when we got into our room, it had a very bad smell. I told the front clerk and she had someone go into the room and spray. It smelled much better. for the age of the hotel the rooms are period date and I think very nice. I wish the shower could be made a tad larger. But all in all I love the Hotel.
