We recently stayed on a couple of different occasions at this property. The hotel was undoubtedly very nicely decorated for the Holidays, and staying in a historic hotel is always a plus. The reason for my 3-star review is because the hotel charged us $25 for early check in. While they had a right to do so, I felt the hotel was trying to extract every dollar they can from customers. In our case, we checked in approximately 1 hour before 4pm, so the fee seemed excessive. After spending over 600$ at this property in less than 24 hours, and being a repeat customer, it would have been a nice gesture to waive that fee (which I have never been asked to pay anywhere else). Lastly, while the suite inside was ready when we entered the room, the previous guest's bed linen was still at the entrance. Overall, and to be fair, we did enjoy our visit. But I do believe that, in the long-term, small gestures will make customers come back more often, which would ultimately benefit the hotel.
