“From its retro-vintage decor for events to its Prohibition-era wine cellar, this historic hotel struck me as a unique stay; the on-site dining sources from local farms, adding to its charm. I appreciate the proximity to area draws such as the Charles Paddock Zoo and the restful spa baths in the guest rooms. It's a centrally located option that balances luxury with local character.”
