The hotel has been redone beautifully. There were so many thoughtful touches to honor its history. The fitness room was great too. My only complaint is that there wasn't a full length mirror unless you moved all of the towels in the bathroom, but that was just a small inconvenience. I definitely want to try the speakeasy next time!

Check in was terrible. I had already pre-paid for this room through hotels.com, but they were trying to charge my guests more than $400. She called me. I had to give my credit card number to the front desk in order to let her stay there, in spite of me having a receipt from hotels.com for her stay.
