Hotel check-in/lobby was on the second floor, a different floor than the entrance. Being a very old hotel it is still well taken care of, though I felt the furniture could use a steam cleaning. Our bed was super comfy, but they gave us a handicap accessible room which was awkward. I should have asked for a different room right away but we made it work. The ironing board was bent and there was no mini-fridge in the room. Enjoyed the lobby, it was a great place for socializing.

Such a gorgeous hotel with amazing food and friendly staff. Felt like we were living in luxury. The hotel has beautiful architecture and our room was cozy. The dinner restaurant was romantic and delicious. The breakfast/brunch buffet was the best I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend. A wonderful experience.

The Brown is a very elegant hotel. It has quite a history, having been built in 1923. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the room was amazing. The bathroom has been fully modernized with a shower and large sink area, whole the main hotel room still has a wonderfully quaint feeling.
