The property itself is beautiful and historical, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. Upon check-in, our room had not been vacuumed and contained clothing from previous guests. My daughter’s room was even worse — the bed was made, but the room was unclean, with full garbage bins, a leaking toilet, and a dirty bathroom. Despite bringing these issues to the front desk, only the bathroom was partially cleaned, and the toilet continued leaking, with garbage still unemptied. For the price we paid, we expected far better attention to cleanliness and maintenance. Very disappointing.

The check-in was terrible. I arrived at the 3pm check-in time. Waited in a long line for 25 minutes as 1 person at front desk checked everyone in. Then they tell me my room is not ready, they will put a rush on it & they will text me when available. We got tired of waiting around trying to entertain our toddler so we went to dinner. 2 hours later they text it’s ready. We come back after dinner at 7pm to get our room keys, go to the room & find someone is already in the room. Go back to front desk & have to wait for another 20 minutes while they transfer us to another room. All of this is going on while I have a crying toddler that’s tired because I can’t get access to a room until 7:30pm. I tried calling Hilton and the hotel to see if we could get any compensation for these issues. They all said I need to talk to the front desk. The front desk comp’d us free breakfast. Which means nothing since we already have plans for breakfast at a restaurant in the morning. Hands down, worst check-in ever.

Classic Hotel / Great price / Busy at Christmas
The hotel is amazing. We were in town for a family reunion at Christmas time, so the place was packed. The rooms and hotel are fine and the price was a great deal. The service in the main atrium was the only frustrating thing with our visit. No place to sit and the service was very slow/under staffed. The location is great and I think this is a fun hotel...just was super busy during the time we went.
