Nice relaxing getaway
By Melissa, 10/28/07
I just spent the weekend here with my husband for our anniversary. Disregard the extremely negative reviews of this hotel. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated but if you wanted modern you should not be choosing a historical landmark. The food was excellent! I read the reviews and was worried but it was outstanding, we had breakfast 2 days and dinner once. Now it was a tad on the pricier side but if you are used to going to nice restaurants you will not have sticker shock. If you do not normally go to nicer restaurants - you will think it is overpriced. The service was very good overall. We enjoyed the hotel lobby and fireplace, played chess and had a drink at the bar. The location is good also, we went to Laurel Caverns which is just 5 minutes up the road and there is a great little diner about 15 minutes down the road. Overall, it is a very nice hotel, it could use some updates in the bathrooms, but if you are looking for charm and character, this is a nice weekend getaway.
