Beautiful, historic hotel.

An offer of soft and firm among the 4 pillows on the bed would be divine. We tried to make dining reservations in advance of arrival. The phone reservation system was not friendly.

This was truly a magnificent hotel. Upon entering the hotel you are immediately welcomed by a desirable fragrance in the air. The staff was courteous and helpful. The room was fantastic and ample.

A little chilly

We enjoyed our stay at the Brown Hotel but they were having maintenance issues with their heating system so unfortunately our room was freezing. Both restaurants were wonderful.
