The staff was beyond awesome in more ways than one... Nice old place! Full of character and well placed. Probably the only thing I could speak negative was being out of bacon at breakfast when I came down 15min before it was over.

I loved the staff! They were so friendly!! The chef made my friend a special coffee during breakfast. The charm of the hotel made it a place we didn’t even want to leave! A picture perfect garden and our room had a little water view which was a bonus! They treated us like royalty and made us feel like we were in a real resort! The pool was small but refreshing and the only downside was the pool sat right by a busy road so there was traffic zooming by. Other than that it was perfect and worth the money !

Lovely Historical Hotel
It was my 2nd time at this property. Such a beautiful old hotel. I was upgraded to a veranda deluxe room which was a wonderful surprise. I have one daughter in Historic Kenwood and another in Brighton Bay. This hotel’s location isn’t super convenient to other of those neighborhoods but I will happily stay here anytime I’m in town.
