a good room for writers or for guests who want to “escape”

Suite Antique

Sitting room accomodates up to two additional guests. This room
honors the memory of the “Great Commoner” William
Jennings Bryan, perennial (unsuccessful) presidential candidate

Mr. Bryan would feel right at home – some say that he
does!
