| - The Bertram was a really nice hotel. We stayed for 2 nights around 4th of July this year, and were very pleased with our stay. We arrived at 11 pm, and found the parking lot mostly empty, which was kind of creepy, but the desk clerk told us that they usually don't get busy until the weekends. When we checked out Friday morning, we found lots of people coming in for a conference or wedding of some sort, so I guess he was right on that front.
Our room had 2 beds and a parlor room attached to it, which was really nice for having friends come hang out with us for happy hour. It was also really nice having 2 bathrooms for the 4 of us staying in the room.
According to the desk clerk, the hotel was built 15ish years ago by a lady who wanted to the hotel to have the feel of the really nice hotels of yore (not like the modern hotel chains, but something a little grander). Thus, the hallways are somewhat dim, and the hotel feels older than it is. But I think it gave it character.
We didn't eat at the hotel, so I can't speak as to the food, but the menus looked really good and the prices weren't unreasonable.
I was rather disappointed in the pool. While large and very clean (infinity style), it was advertised as being heated. Yes, I understand it's July, but the temperatures were in the 60s when we visited, and the pool water was definitely not heated.
All in all, I would definitely stay here again.
