It is a beautiful building and property, marred right now by construction stuff. But the interior is still beautiful, staff very friendly and helpful. And because not full, we got primo seat by big new windows for breakfast buffet - absulutely stunning.

Would have been better if Expedia offered the same deal as the hotel. The hotel was offering pay for 2 nights and get the third for free. Didn’t find out until we arrived at the hotel and the hotel would not honor rate because of booking with Expedia. Expedia didn’t show parking was $30 per night.

Horrible room stained old carpeting. View was of the back service area. Rude front desk manager who would not help. Told us to book directly with them next time. Suggested we needed to buy a room directly from them and forfeit our previous reservation.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not recommending to anyone.
It was overpriced for the real value. Overpriced evening dinner was out of key things until we left. Cocktail in the bar was tiny at best. Valet was understaffed so it was slow and 30$ for outside parking with no loading and unloading is ridiculous.

The room does not correspond to the price, very bad repair condition, the plaster on the walls is crumbling and not painted, the sink is cracked, the bed is scratched and in terrible condition. Very bad soundproofing, I can hear the neighbors what they are doing behind the door.
