Stayed here with my husband and my mom for four nights on vacation from Oregon. A really nice hotel with a sort of Victorian ambiance. We stayed in the foxglove room that had a nice king bed, a tub, and a gas fireplace.. I will say as somebody with osteoarthritis I was challenged. There is no elevator be aware. You can't even get to the front desk on either side of the entrances because there are stairs... not great for somebody with mobility issues. So, the climb to the second floor every night and every morning was definitely not fun. The tub was also very difficult to get in and out of, however, they did offer a nice handle you could suction to the tub .the bed was very high, but it came with stools. none of this is the hotels fault however, it's something that somebody with mobility issues should be aware of.There's one section of the hotel that could be considered wheelchair accessible with an elevator, where you can enter via the dining room , but none of the other areas are... they would not be able to come and enjoy the lobby as well. The room was lovely though, I think next time I would stay on a first floor or maybe the carriage house.
My mom stayed in room 2a, she loved it. The only issue we had was corrected in a very fair manner. We booked this hotel specifically because they said they could make a vegan breakfast and accommodate dietary restrictions. We confirmed several times via correspondence before our arrival. our first morning we asked for the vegan menu and the gentleman was very confused. He said we don't have a vegan menu, but it looks like the chef can make you avocado toast as your entrée.... It's as if the vegan options are really just an afterthought The second morning was even worse. We were offered buttered toast as the entrée.... You are offered a starter and some sides, but bread is not an entrée.. and the bread starters were not vegan . my husband spoke with the front desk, she was so wonderful and our next two mornings were better , with an actual vegan menu. We were also given a complementary bottle of wine upon leaving.
Really appreciate the stepping up ; it can be really hard to be vegan and not be offered substantial alternatives, it makes you feel left out, embarrassed,confused and hungry. Really appreciate how they stepped up and really made it right for us . so if you're booking and you're vegan, make sure you ask them specifically for a vegan menu, and make sure they have substantial choices for you. One of our favorite brands of vegan egg is: just egg; it is widely available in the Canada area . It would be very easy for the kitchen to carry that in stock and offer vegan scrambled eggs, with a little bit of black salt(gives it that eggy flavor) , and some vegan meat options to give a wonderful scramble, maybe get some vegan cheese slices and vegan sausage and offer a breakfast sandwich.
We appreciated the lobby tea options, the afternoon snacks of soup, and even the cute little gift shop . The staff was just wonderful and we definitely want to stay here again.
