Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I was informed upon check-in that nearly every amenity (gym, pool, etc) was closed. The lobby feels “grand,” but the rooms will look and feel outmoded to anyone who has stayed in a hotel since 1990. The rooms feel especially old-fashioned. Water dripped from the ceiling of my room, leaving a wet spot on the carpet below. Good breakfast.

We liked the feel of the classic hotel. We enjoyed the gym. However, it felt a little dated. They need to renew the carpets. While their breakfast buffet was great, we didn't care for their Chinese Restaurant. Their high tea was nice
