We love this hotel, especially at the holidays. They do a wonderful job at holiday decorations and it’s so beautiful. Staff is great. The Pub is always lively and food and service is awesome. The rooms are large and lovely. Comfy beds , marble bathrooms. mini bar options and in room coffee could use an upgrade but the french bakery on property is the best within 100 miles!!! They have a fabulous toy store too. Not many like this left anymore.
