This hotel was built in 1895 and it has been modernized. It has 1895 architecture but also has new technology, such as tapping your room key to open your room door. What blew my wife and I away is that it was like walking into a castle. From the moment we stepped inside, we were treated very nicely. Hotel is huge and we actually got lost finding our way around. But someone was always around to guide us. Hotel is beautiful, room was clean, and the built in tv in the mirror in the bathroom was a nice touch. The shower was beautiful with the nice tiling and the classic tub was separate from the shower. The free water and free coffee was nice, but also when we ordered room service, they rolled in a table with a warmer underneath! Table had a white table cloth and any condiments we needed were on top relevant to the food we had ordered. The delivery hostess, like everyone else, also treated us very nicely. I asked the front desk about the parking slip I had in my hand. He took it and said he would take care of it. When we left, we simply tapped our room key to exit the parking area and parking was free. If I could give this more stars, I would. Any time we come back to this area, this is the hotel ww will always stay at.
