There reason to stay here is THE VIEW. However, one in our party (of three ladies) was shown to a back room with no view -- odd, since we were all paying the same rate. She insisted & was given a room with a view. Not a great start, but everything else was good.
The rooms have comfortable mattresses & linens and large balconies. The furniture was nice, colonial-style dark wood with white linens, rattan chairs and ottomans, simple desk. The ceilings are mile high with fan and AC. Antique looking cut glass mirrors dress up the room without being over the top. I loved the black & white photos of the dam construction sprinkled throughout the common spaces. The lobby, lobby patio, dinning room and bar are all tastefully appointed and comfortable. A photo taken of them today would not look out of place in 1918.
The bathrooms are smallish; those above the 1st floor only have showers, no bath. The shower has no stall, just a shower curtain that separates the shower from the toilet and sink.
Realistic expectations are key to enjoying this property: it is simply not a 5 star modern hotel, but rather a comfortable piece of living, functional history. There is no elevator, some rooms have stairs to the bathroom, there are certain signs of age. However, it seems very much like it would have been 100 years ago (with better mattresses, AC and TV!), so if you are looking for an "authentic" experience and can appreciate the quirks of a historic property you'll have a pleasant stay.
