The only thing I didn't care for was the lack of any type of safety feature in the room's bathroom. All tub/showers should have at least one! The bathroom is very small and one false step on the shiny tile floor can result in a fall with serious injury. I am 72 years old and was fearful getting in and out the tub/shower because it was so slippery and nothing to hang onto. OBTW the shower rod wasn't even attached to the wall on on end.

Great location, well preserved historical hotel The only negative feedback would be regarding the front desk staff who were very unfriendly, standoffish and almost unwelcoming I think there is a even tinge of racism as well Otherwise, housekeeping staff and the wait staff at 1852 grill were outstanding
