Wish I could have stayed longer…
Charming hotel. Love the history. Staff is extremely nice and welcoming. Enjoyed quietly reading a book by the fire pits. I happened to stay in a room that was above the furnace, I guess? So my “Comfort “ rating would have been higher, but my room was pretty hot - even with the window propped open. Not a huge deal tho. Really loved my first trip to BI and my stay at The National. Will definitely be back. Thanks again to the staff!

The National is a beautiful hotel. Great location, fabulous food and both the front porch and back garden style patio were beautiful! Live music by the fire pits made the experience even more enjoyable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to stay again!!!!

The hotel staff was very nice. We enjoyed eating our breakfast out on the front porch and people watching. Great location. Our room was disappointing...the dresser drawers were stuck and hard to open and close, the cable TV was only basic channels, and the bathroom was very small and dated...shower water would go cold which was not good.
