I love this place both for going to alone and with kids. We usually go twice a year to get away. The food is very expensive but there is a diner nearby ($11 for 3 people). we love the hot tub which is huge the general ambience (superb, think Budapest hotel the movie) and the grounds are gorgeous to walk around. We are too scared to take the ghost tour bit I love that they have one (the tour not the ghost).rooms are outstanding and beautiful, building and lobby are stunning - a great place to write or think if you are na artist, too. I wish they had artist residencies.... a gem hidden north of Kansas City! (not great deals on Groupon for this hotel).
