“The hotel's historic charm and unique décor, including themed rooms, stand out; the pool area, complete with rafts, also makes for a relaxing experience. However, reports indicate inconsistent cleanliness and room maintenance, which could impact the overall stay. New ownership should prioritize hands-on management to restore the hotel's prior reputation.”
