Lovely staff and amenities. A bit old world - keys for door locks, tvs quite small given the overall opulence & comfort level of the hotel, and the ability to stream shows from the iPhone to tv was a bit hit and miss. On the positive side, the room was spacious and bathroom immense! Great bath & shower facilities.

We wanted a larger room and got what we wanted to that end. The lobby and halls look very nice. My husband really liked this hotel but I found the rooms quite dated. The furniture looked to be around for quite a while. The wallpaper in the sink area of the bathroom had water damage and the shower needed a refresh of the seal on the ground as mold was growing there. Not just one spot but the entire line of about 5 feet. The staff were so helpful and we enjoyed our stay overall.
