The property overall was fine. The only reason for 4/5 stars was the room was very small. The shower is very small as well. You have no room to move at all.

When I travel I love to stay at historic locations, this one did not disappoint. The hotel staff were so kind and helpful. The Barrister's restaurant was exceptional and so were the staff. Gourmet meals with southern flare, and great cocktails. A simple breakfast and coffee are provided each morning, except for Sunday. There is a nice Rotary built park on the back side of the hotel that was nice, as a Juntenth celebration was held during my stay. A great location just outside of Charlotte, but close to other cities that offer great activies to visit each day.

This historical landmark is truly a treasure. As a history enthusiast, I appreciated that the hotel used to be a bank. It has a delightful charm and distinctiveness. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I look forward to my next stay!

Beautiful, Historic Property

What a beautiful historic property! The staff was so helpful and informed us of the history of the building. The view is amazing from the rood top terrace. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size for a historic building. We plan to stay here again when we are in the area.

Second stay. This one was for four nights. Bathroom sink drain got stuck. No room cleaning at all for four days, which seems a little odd. If the owners would make a little effort in enhancing the guest experience, this place would get 5 stars from me. Front desk staff needs some customer service 101 training.
