Cool place

We love this hotel and will stay here again. But…this stay we had a room with a noisy AC and a too soft bed, thus not a very restful stay. Staff was wonderful as always and breakfast was very good.

Very good staff. Beautiful old hotel with mediocre restoration. The restaurant looks like it was renovated in the early 2000s and doesn't reflect the original Trost architectural style at all. It was probably the most disappointing part. I ate at the restaurant once and it was palatable but nothing special.

It was a lovely place to stay. Electricity went out soon after we arrived and did not come back on until after 11pm. We rented a room that had a small patio but the water feature was broken. Overall highly recommend even with no electricity.
