Beautiful hotel with a lot of history. I stayed in a room with the bathroom down the hall. I was surprised to find I still had my own bathroom, with a locked door, in what I would call a suite of bathrooms. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helpful.

The ac did not keep the room cool, kind of warm though out the stay. It was difficult getting up and down the steps with my luggage, and I did use the lift. Staff, food, wine, and location were outstanding!

Such a unique property! Lots of charm and history in this hotel. Room was basic, and very warm. (No A/C and a broken stand fan). Supplying robes would have been nice, especially since our bath/shower facilities were down the hall. Good place for a 1-2 night stay.
