Stopped in. Mainly to check the lobby area out of the Brown hotel since it has very historic significance. The lobby is inexperience going back in time. They have many memorabilia set in little nooks and crannies for you to check out about the historic value of the brown and the individual that started the hotel.
Even if you're not staying at the hotel, it's definitely more. It's taking a strong lobby area.

The hotel itself is beautiful, and the service was excellent overall. I was brought here by my significant other as a surprise birthday trip, so we were especially excited about the experience.
Unfortunately, our arrival did not go as smoothly as expected. When we arrived, we were informed that our room was not yet ready. We returned around 4:30 p.m. to check on the status and were told that the room was still not available. The staff member explained that he had attempted to escalate the situation to a supervisor but had not yet received a response.
We were finally able to access our room around 5:30 p.m. Unfortunately, the delay impacted the plans my significant other had arranged for my birthday and resulted in a portion of the experience being altered.
The staff did provide us with a $20 coupon; however, this was already included as part of our reservation, so I did not feel that the compensation adequately addressed the inconvenience caused by the delay.
Despite this experience, the hotel itself was lovely, and the staff was courteous and professional. Outside of the issue with the room being unavailable at check-in, I would still recommend this hotel to others and hope that future guests have a smoother arrival experience.

Charming historic hotel with large rooms. Friendly service, enjoyable bar area. Room suffered from a faulty HVAC system and some maintenance needs including faulty smart device connectivity.
We received an apologetic response to our review, but it is unlikely we would stay again at the Brown.

I left my purse in my room closet, on the shelf next to the safe. I called that same afternoon and asked them to check for it and hold it. They told me to call back in the morning so the room cleaners had time to return any lost items.
I called the next morning and was told to call back once a manager arrived. When I finally called at 10:30, I was told they had checked the room three times and found nothing. I was also never allowed to speak with a manager.
The front desk associate I dealt with was dismissive and kept implying I was mistaken about where I'd left it. I wasn't.
Don't count on anyone here caring about you or your belongings.

Ok a couple things - I was told there was a 45 min wait for the restaurant downstairs when I was standing there so I went outside and called and made a reservation for 15 mins later with the person who just told me it was a 45 min wait!?! Food was fine. Nice wait staff.
My room: musty smelling the moment I walked in. The worst part for me however is that it’s 66 inside the room and they told me the boilers are not turned on so there is no heat in the building. (What?!?) It was 50 degrees outside this morning. They offered me more blankets or a space heater. I reminded them, and they agreed, that this is a five star hotel (the review says 4 star but nonetheless) and that I don’t want a space heater at a five star hotel. Needless to say I won’t return. Go somewhere else if you’re looking for a hotel. I would not recommend this place.
