Our first impressions of the hotel were very positive. A beautiful, historic hotel. There was a slight irritation about the check in when our room was not ready and they said they would contact us when it was. Hours and hours went by as we waited without contact, well past check in time. We didn't want to waste money on a car back if the room wasn't ready. Eventually we were too tired to wait and headed back. The room was ready and we weren't contacted. Still, a nice place and we got unpacked and went to bed. The rest of the stay continued in that vein. The toilet had jewelry in it and wouldn't flush properly our whole stay. My partner works in maintenance so kept fixing it. The same with the lights. Burnt out bulbs and dead sockets. It was really difficult to get ready because the lighting in the room was so bad and the only lighting was from the windows which opened to the world if we were getting dressed. The phone was never answered by the front desk. Just a continuous loop of the selection menu, ringing, and then menu again. We had to go downstairs to the lobby to ask for anything and then wait an eternity for housekeeping to turn up. We ran out of toilet paper at some point and clocked an hour and a half wait until we could use the bathroom. Not to mention my partner having to fix the wires on the tv to get it to work and move a lamp to another plug to get it to turn on. I understand it was a busy weekend but at the price we paid, we would not choose this hotel again.
