87 guest rooms and 13 deluxe suites, recently redecorated with damask
wall coverings, antique furnishings and custom carpets and draperies.
The public rooms feature wood and stone carvings, hand-carved paneling,
original oil paintings, oriental carpets, damask window draperies and
Irish heirloom antique furnishings.
