United States, December 2024

6.0/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the views from the room were absolutely breathtaking and the building itself was charming, the overall cleanliness and maintenance left a lot to be desired. The service felt geared towards tourists in large groups rather than individual experiences, and the food was not great. If you're just looking for a place to sleep, it's okay, but there are likely cheaper options for a simple bed.
