"The room was clean and filled with plenty of amenities. The staff was very helpful and accommodating of my bags being left after check out so I could see a few more sites before my flight left. I did not use the hotels dining facilities after the first evening trying to have dinner on property after a long days travel. A mouse ran right across the room between me and another guest. It probably was a one off, but it just left me "shook". I ordered uber eats for rest of my stay. I still recommend staying here, as the staff, location and the historical property is amazing!"
