The lobby and common areas when you enter the hotel are beautiful. Rich colored woods very expensive looking. Much like 20s or 1930s vintage furniture decor, etc. very elegant looking. The swimming pool was looked adequate though we didn’t use it. The fitness room was clean and fairly well equipped. Our room was clean but not well designed. The area for hanging clothes was inside the bathroom, which we didn’t think was a good location. The bathroom had not been elation fan so after a shower, everything in there was somewhat steamy. The shower enclosure was a pain of glass that covered half of the front with no door to close I know that’s a common design, but we didn’t care for it much as water splashed out into the floor rather easily.

This is a beautiful hotel. You can tell there’s history there as soon as you walk in. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only problem I had was with housekeeping. While we were out for the day housekeeping came in and cleaned which was fine. Except for some reason they turned the lock to keep the door open for easy access I guess but when they finished and left the room they didn’t close the door so when we arrived back late that night it was still open so needless to say I wasn’t happy about that
