When I arrived I was told there is an extra 18% to pay. No where else was it mentioned not on expedia. The man at the desk was very unpleasant about this. Then in the room the bed was like sleeping on a bench. Completely hard. finally in the middle of the night I realized the cheap mattress was upside down. After I nearly injured myself flipping it I could get some sleep.

For the location, building & resonable price

Beautiful historic building, in a great location. Other pluses: free underground parking and free use of the fabulous sports center and swimming pool. because it's such a unique building, it has a very special ambiance. On the down side: The room was OK but a tad shabby. In my room (229), the shower flooded the whole bathroom. The front desk are friendly enough, though at 7.30am there was noone behind the desk. And the elevator... there is just one, quite tiny, so make sure you leave enough time when leaving or coming back, as the wait time might be long.

Chef Jarod's breakfasts were delicious (just wish it had been included in price of staying there), beautiful grounds, lovely and helpful staff, bell tower view is the best! Wish the chairs for the "restaurant" had less holes and a better introduction to the place when checking in. Rooms hangers were a bit dusty and a musky smell in room (3rd floor I guess hasn't gotten the rennovation yet).
