The lobby is beautiful. The room was nice but the door to the bathroom was so narrow (picture a closet door) you almost need to turn sideways to go in and out. The breaker blew in the bathroom after using the hotel provided hair dryer for three minutes - nothing else plugged in at the time.

This is a wonderful hotel. Staff is great, hotel is lovely. The only reason we didn't give it a 5 is because the rooms need to be renovated. The sink and bathroom tile were cracked and the carpet and bedding need an upgrade.
