Pros +

  • Great bed
  • The history and the charm of the beautiful architecture it was a gorgeous building and the night manager, the maintenance staff went above and beyond to accommodate us Just incredible
  • The location was great. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Restaurants are not part of hotel. But all were great. Especially the one that is open 7-4 has wonderful food. Rooftop bar very nice as well as the two others.

Cons -

  • The AC heater in the room did not work. We were very cold every night . Staff brought us a portable heater unit that was small and barely made a difference
  • yes, there was no Internet despite lots of help from IT. We were not able to check into the hotels Wi-Fi or use the TV. this is definitely not a business hotel
  • The room was extremely small for two people. But it was doable for a couple days. The bathroom shower was large and very nice. But the bathroom sink was incredibly small and little space to put anything on. Lighting in bathroom was very bad.
