I had a wonderful time here. The staff are the nicest, most efficient, most helpful of any place I've ever stayed. They were always going out of their way to help and accommodate us. That was the highlight of my stay.

Plus,
- perfectly clean hotel
- very comfy beds!!
- spacious, comfortable rooms
- bathrobes.
- HDMI cable on the TV
- amenities like complimentary water/snacks every day
- newspaper delivered to your door each morning
- car service (with really nice drivers, for the most part) to take you anywhere within 3 miles... which is all you need really because the hotel is near everything!
- beautiful furniture and art (original paintings?!), books to read throughout the hotel; very historic atmosphere
- heated pool and hot tub
- a beautiful courtyard with string lights, outdoor tables, and two fire pits to relax around at night (very cozy)
- lovely, nostalgic architecture and landscaping
- a really delicious, relatively inexpensive restaurant (with AMAZINGLY fast service and nice waiters)
- free wine tasting every evening M-F and fresh, hot chocolate chip cookies baked in-house and served every night of the week (what more could you want??)
- probably other great stuff but like I said there are free cookies

The only con:
- right next to the train tracks, unfortunately. Try to get a room on the far side of the hotel. I stayed in a room facing the courtyard on the side of the hotel farther from the tracks, and although I heard the train a lot the first day, after that I barely noticed it at all. If you stay in a room nearer to the tracks, though, it might be more annoying

These were so minor in my opinion but I'll put them down anyway:
- the pool was full of bugs... but the hot tub was clean! It's only March so maybe they'll clean it closer to summer?
- I don't really watch TV so this didn't bother me too much, but I felt the TV could have been bigger? It felt kind of small to watch from so far across the room
- I also wish the lighting had been a little less intrusive and more convenient, but perhaps the lamps are part of the charm
