Our stay was pleasant. While we knew it was a historic hotel, we were quite disappointed at the lack of young (3 & 11 months) kid friendly activities. Wee did not anticipate any special activities for the 11 month old, but based on the website we thought there would be more of interest to our 3 year old. Only one hotel restaurant truly accommodated children of that age. The game room and movies were not really of interest as they were for older children. Thankfully it was gorgeous outside and we stayed at the pool most of the day. We played mini golf and did the hayride which were fun. I did appreciate that they did not charge for kids under 5 to participate in those things. Overall, the hotel had beautiful historic charm. I think it's quite unfortunate the lack of repairs that have been done to maintain the building. It rained one night and water leaked through our balcony door. The wood door frame was clearly rotted through. There were several areas where renovations are needed. It was also not as clean as I would have expected. After my youngest picked up a cracker from under the bed I did a search under all furniture and found an array of wrappers, a fidgit spinner, etc. I also had to wipe the moulding with a baby wipe to remove the hair and dust from his reach. I'm not a clean freak germophobe, I understand we are in a public hotel, but for $400+/night I shouldn't have to clean my own room before it's usable. It was an experience and I'm glad we went. There are other hotels, with equal history or charm, that we have visited for comparable money that provided a much greater variety of kid friendly activities and were clean/better maintained.
