The staff was very friendly. We accidentally left a kids’ blanket in the room after we had checked out and they held it for almost 12 hours for us. Check in and out was easy and fast. Internet was easy to connect to and worked well. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were comfortable and clean. AC unit worked really well and kept the room the temperature we set it to.

The hotel building is beautiful and impeccably kept. We had a standard room. Room was beautifully decorated, clean, specious. There were two things that we were not satisfied with. The bathroom was small, but that's not the complaint. The complaint is that the door did not fully open in order to get into the bathroom. When you opened the door it stopped at the shower door and in order to enter the room completely you had to slide to the right next to the toilet then close the door, then enter the room to either shower or use the toilet. If we had been large people we would not have been able to do this. The second complaint is there is nowhere to put your clothes. There was a closet with 4 hangers to hang clothes, but no chest with drawers. As much as i loved the hotel and appreciate it's history and architecture, I will probably not return because of these matters.
