Beautiful old hotel... awful old rooms
The public spaces in this grand hotel are still pretty grand. But venture upstairs and you'll find rooms that are cramped, overheated, poorly maintained, and in need of A BIG UPGRADE. My room had threadbare carpets, torn wallpaper,towels that were worn and scratchy,and a broken shower handle. The beds are extremely comfortable and the housekeeping staff tries hard, but these rooms need more than just a little TLC. Stayed for the first few nights on a conference rate of $175 and felt like I was getting gypped. But when my final night rate went up to $265 because the conference ended, I knew that this was one of the biggest mistakes I had made in booking a hotel.
