Dear Virginia,It was lovely having you for the evening that you stayed with us. As we are a historic property there is, of course, no elevator system and the stairs are the only means of transportation. We do clearly state that in our confirmation letters so guests can be aware as much as possible. I hope this does not damper a return trip as we do have parlor level rooms that do not require stairs as much so, please think of us in the future.Sincerely,Jim Raddatz
