Historic plaza building lives on

The overall stay was ok. Management was attentive and the facility as a whole well cared for in a historic building.. There was an unexpected disturbing issue with the cleanliness of the bedding which management quickly addressed. The rest of the stay went well. Perhaps just an isolated incident. .

The hotel overall is a wonderful location and beautifully decorated. Unfortunately, I had a gift bag that had been given to me and was in the room and the cleaning team threw it away. When I spoke to the front desk about it, they told me they would ship it to me at my expense if they found it and that they would call after looking for it. I waited for them to speak with staff and look for it and when I left the hotel, they told me they would call with an update. I never heard from them. It’s shocking that a hotel of this stature with throw away your personal items and treat it as a small issue.

Spacious rooms. From the bellman to the valet top notch. Only issue was our room wasn’t ready and was told we would get a call when it was and our luggage would be sent to our room. When we got there looks like there was a different front desk person and our things were still sitting in the lobby. They redeemed themselves with an amazing room service breakfast. Best Eggs Benedict if ever had. Plus the bar in the restaurant had top notch service.
