Staff was friendly and always available.
Massive renovation.

Hotel was both misleading and overrated. You have to park in the garage behind the hotel and it is not free for guests, instead you will pay $21 to park each day. Hotel staff is very friendly and eager to help, but they cannot overcome this hotel's misleading marketing campaign.

Great traditional Southern Ambiance and luxury atmosphere.
Bathroom much too small, 9.95 charge for internet.

If the bathroom was larger and internet was free, I'd have given them a 5 star rating. The Seelbach fits the definition of a grand old hotel well and only needs a few minor tweaks to meet the criterion completely.

It has a great location and the staff was helpful and enthusiastic.
The bed was too small; the amenities in the room are not what I expected from a 4 star hotel.

Very old fashion and traditional; however instead of looking vintage the amenities in the room appeared a little old and dull. The "queen" bed was actually a double but the location is great and the staff was friendly enough.

It had a beautiful atmosphere and was a pleasure to stay at.
They over charge on the parking garage, they charge $5 more than just paying the garage directly.

The hotel is great; it is your service that is in question. I paid you for 3 nights and you received your money but denied the hotel their payment and now they have charged me an additional fee for the unpaid balance you were supposed to pay.

Historic feel
Internet Access was $9.95 per day

Overall it was a wonderful stay. Both the closet and bathroom were a little small, and the internet access was a ridiculous $9.95 per day, but the overall experience was very good. The staff of the hotel were VERY attentive.
