The only reason why I’m giving this property 4 in some areas stars is because when I booked, I booked based off the photos and I thought I was going to get a stand shower without a bathtub, but we had a bathtub and the mini bar there were open and empty food and beverages that weren’t thrown out. Overall, we’d definitely return

Gorgeous, early-20th century style hotel with modern amenities and up to date renovations. Excellent staff. Very comfortable bed. Only less-than-stellar feature was the room bathroom. A ridiculously small tub enclosure seemed completely out of place in a spacious suite.
