My husband and I stopped In for a drink at the bar and the Bartenders were so so nice. We were dressed casual and felt out of place but they reassured us it was completely fine. So friendly and outgoing and told us the history of the hotel and to walk around and explore the library and pool top and orb. We did walk around. We came back the next day for a margarita and Mule and again the staff were great. We even got to pet Betsy the Golden Retriever who was sleeping in the bar area. Highly recommend for a drink.
