We apologize for any inconvenience. The manor side of our hotel offers a standard stay and gives you the vibes and expectations of any standard hotel room.Might I suggest booking on the Historic Tower side your next stay it offers better views,more square footage,walk in showers encased in glass and marble floors It is a completely different experience. We truly hope you give us the opportunity to host you and your loved ones!!Thank you for staying with us and your honest feedback.

The Read House has an Art Deco/1920s vibe. You feel like you're back in time a hundred yards, except for all the modern conveniences. The staff is amazing! We'll definitely be back!
