Historic hotel, great location

Very nice historic hotel with restaurants and bar located in site. Conveniently located downtown and very walkable to shops and restaurants. The only disappointment was the hot tub was out of service for my stay with nothing offered except apologies.

8/10 Very good

Overall it was good.

Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Easy walking distance. Only complaint was pillows on bed were too flat and shower was a one person pretty much. Bed was comfy though and ac worked good. The saloon bar was good. The historic value was neat to look at.
