Not a good value for the exorbitant room rate
First of all, trying to get parking information from the front desk was extremely confusing. They kept telling us that parking was in the hotel building, not the building across the street, which we eventually figured out. The bed mattress and bed pillows were hard and extremely uncomfortable. Our room was on the first floor and I tried to utilize the ice machine on my floor. Empty. Went to tell hotel staff because I thought they might want to refill it. The desk attendant could not be bothered and told me to go all the way up to the 4th floor and get ice. I was disappointed with our overnight stay after reading “exceptional” reviews, and especially after paying what I paid for the one night stay. Both my husband and I give the hotel a C. The one bright point of our stay was walking down to the 1844 restaurant just to check it out and we engaged in a very nice conversation with the hostess at the desk who was very nice and helpful. The front desk staff needs more people like her.

This is an historic building with beautiful decor and wonderful front porch dining. The beds are extremely comfortable. We also enjoyed the dining room happy hour. Wish the rooftop bar was open on Monday and Tuesday!
