9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,009 reviews)

This historic building now turned hotel is truly a gem! Friendly, helpful staff, super-clean rooms, and the interior was remade with such love and care for history, such that the halls are lined with so many fascinating artifacts and stories from the past that it ranks nearly as a museum. Furthermore, it is in that "sweet spot" when the remodel is old enough to have thoroughly off-gassed but new enough that everything is in great condition. My husband and I are mildly chemically sensitive and we did not have any problems staying here.
