Very nice historic hotel. Everything was clean and room was very comfortable . We did have issues with housekeeping showing up but the manager was responsive and fixed any issue. The grounds are beautiful , the spa experience was awesome. Definitely would return for another stay.
Everything was really good about our stay. Staff, service, food and room were awesome.
The 25.00 “destination fee” tacked on at checkout outside of the Expedia payment leaves a bad taste. Not much transparency in what you are paying thru Expedia.
The staff were incredibly kind, observant and helpful. The room was very clean. Shower tiles could use some maintenance, but they were clean. The Three Owls restaurant/bar was excellent, although severely understaffed. But those working were very nice, and the food and drinks were excellent. I will definitely be returning, and I will recommend to friends and family.
The woman at the front desk remembered my name after.meeting me one time the day before a young man came up to iur room to help with our tv. He was very polite and gracious.
Staff was exceptional! Julia for early AM coffee always greeted with a smile and kind word. Mackenzie and CJ at the front desk - ever helpful. Shelby in the restaurant truly served … got the cook to make poached egg yolk runny! And Onika (so?) was an excellent concierge in the spa.
The Elms is my go to place to enjoy some tranquil alone time. The rooms are clean, and the beds are amazingly comfortable. The staff are awesome, the food at The Three Owls is delicious, the halls are quiet, and the grounds are lovely to walk. I'm looking forward to my next visit to relax and unwind.
The Elms is a staple for destination hotels! It's a magnificent hotel with an interesting history, a relaxing spa, lovely hot tubs, friendly and helpful staff, yummy food and GHOSTS!!!! Who could ask for more?!?

The spa experiences were fantastic!! We were both so relaxed by the end of our weekend!
Love this hotel! Lots of history and even some ghosts. Went on a ghost tour with Jay. Very knowledgeable, funny and spooky. Every employee we met was extremely friendly and helpful. Food at three owls was delicious!
We stayed at the Elms to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had an ADA accessible room. We were treated like royalty by the staff. Everyone was exceptional.
No, the room was dusty actually.
The staff was fabulous!!! Loved the lap pool!!!! We enjoyed our stay and the furry robes were a real plus! Thanks for the bday wishes!
The food was to die for!!! Real pleasure to spend my 65th bday with the Elms!!!
My girlfriend and I had a wonderfully relaxing experience at the Elms, celebrating our birthdays together. Despite the two weddings happening on site, the staff handled it all with ease and very intentional service to us all!
