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.
