A very nice place to spend our last night of our road trip vacation! The lobby bar area was beautiful! We especially enjoyed our attentive and sweet bar tender, Jodi.

Showing its age

Nice staff, and beautiful and elegant building. The rooms are showing their age, however. Frayed upholstery, chipped and marred furniture, and leak-stained walls and ceilings.

What an incredibly beautiful hotel. It’s kind of a slightly sketchy area of downtown, but the historic grandeur of the hotel more than makes up for it. We really enjoyed our stay, especially hanging out with a drink at the bar, watching everyone go by.
