What a beautiful old historical hotel! There is a connected parking garage with easy access and great restaurants around to reach by foot! The distance to the airport also was nice - 10 minute by car! The bar was very nice and had someGreat cocktails along with a pianist playing in the lobby! The food was amazing!

Some items may be a bit outdated - but overallMight be just my preference

Absolutely beautiful hotel, will absolutely return and stay here again. We came for louder than life for 6 days, and the price was great. They had a delicious breakfast buffett, and while it was kind of pricey, it was fantastic. It's the best buffett I've ever had. The fresh towels and daily room service are a nice touch. The rooms were a nice comfortable size, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The little throw blanket is a nice touch. The bathroom and shower were spacious and clean. I will definitely come back next year!

The outlets were a little loose, but it is a older hotel. The windows were a bit dusty and had cobwebs, but the general cleanliness was great. You can't control the room temp, but it stays nice and cool. If you get cold, the blankets are nice and warm. The parking fee is the only complaint i have it is 30 per day. But i will definitely be returning!

It is a nice hotel. I had the hot Brown and it was excellent. Fast elevators, friendly staff, good location close to most stuff.

The bed was comfortable but it had these really small pillows on a king bed that kind of made no sense

I had some issues with my flights, so I called the hotel to let them know I was going to be coming in very late. They were very accommodating. It was nearly midnight by the time I actually checked in. The staff was helpful and friendly.

When I got to my room there was white stuff like drywall all over the carpet. It needed a good vacuum.
