Our first road trip in a couple years: we found the site to be user friendly, quiet, and interesting. We used the spa and thought their work was excellent. The food was also very good. I would recommend a stay there to anyone.

August 29, 2026NorthStar620698Beautiful historical hotel and grounds
Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and good food. The room was also very nice and clean. What a lovely and charming place. The only shortfall was we were on the 3rd floor. Because of the age of this historic building, the elevator needs operated by staff. Which was available if you pressed the call button, so we got our exercise going up and down the stairs! Everything else was excellent!

Silent Movie-Era "Luxury" Hotel...Charming, But Dated
Old-school classic "luxury" hotel has seen better days, but stay here now before it's gone forever. Lovely gardens surround hotel on all four sides. Small waterfall on site. Impressive river views from back patio. Ducks. Horseshoe pitch. Negatives? Front-desk staff is harried. Staff must operate elevator (what a throwback!). (Translation: Be patie nt.) Located about one mile from downtown on main road. Appears to be a favorite spot for local weddings. Clara Bow stayed here as did Valentino.

Hits and Misses
The hotel and grounds are beautiful and beautifully maintained. The room (a Riverside king) was large, clean and comfortable. The only negative was the water pressure in the shower but I think that’s typical of an older, historic hotel. We ate in the restaurant several times - breakfasts, dinner, and afternoon drinks. The setting was lovely and the food was delicious and well prepared. The wait staff, however, left much to be desired at every meal. Slow to be acknowledged at the entrance to the restaurant, slow to be seated, sullen in demeanor when waiting on you, non-attentive. Not at all what I would expect from a restaurant that bills itself as fine dining. The food - yes; the waitstaff - absolutely not. Unfortunately, we found ALL staff - including the employee who checked us in and the employee who checked us out - to be poorly trained, unfriendly, forgotten how to smile, and don’t remember that WE are the customers.
