Alterations

The addition of an extensive kitchen and bar, the instillation of new plumbing and the new arcane lights were the largest projects, but some hints of the buildings still remain.
Architecture
The building is made of sturdy local stone that was mined from the Malcoma's foothills that rise behind Buckbridge. The ceilings are high and adorned with decorative chandeliers and sconces that hold shifting arcane flames.
Local hardwoods were brought in from the surronding forests to make the furnishings.
Defenses
Each room includes an arcane alarm system that is tied to the room's key. This system will notify the highest ranking member of staff if the door is open from the outside without the key, whether by force or sleight of hand.
If an intrusion is found, then an arcane lock can be triggered on the door, preventing the assailant from leaving the room.
