Went with the kids, amazing staff, historic hotel, very clean and great food. Valet service is great around the clock with armed security 24/7. Not luxurious but worth the historic aspect of it. Very close to the cathedral, just a 5 minute walk. Safe area.

Historic Hotel, old-fashioned service.

The hotel is beautiful. Service was on point. I found the pillows a bit hard and the door to our balcony did not lock, however we were up sufficiently high it did not pose a security concern. The breakfast buffet had many great options. The pool was absolutely lovely.
