Cons (-) Room was very hot. I tried to cool it down but the thermostat was locked at set temperature. In all fairness , I could have called the front desk to ask if anything could have been done.
Pros (+) Ambiance no
Cons (-) No complimentary breakfast
Pros (+) Great hotel filled with beautiful antiques.
Cons (-) Parking was horrible
Pros (+) Our stay at the Strater Hotel was very nice. We wanted a taste of the The West, and we certainly got it. I felt like I was staying in Miss Kitty's room! Great location.
Cons (-) The only thing I can say is I wish there were better pillows.
Pros (+) Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.
Pros (+) Hotel is in a good location. There are some great restaurants and shops in the area.
Cons (-) There was no bellman available or bell cart available to help with our bags when we arrived. The furniture was dusty, wallpaper was starting to peal off the walls and ceiling. Thermostat was locked and we were not able to turn on the heater in the room. There was black mold in the grout on the floor. Ate in the restaurant/bar on property, food lacked flavor and was very greasy and not well prepare...
