Has potential
It was like staying with our favorite great aunt for vacation. Comfortable, good food and musty. It once was the toast of the town I'm sure but has seen its better days. The location is the best but needs a facelift (and a tummy tuck and chemical peel and a new wardrobe). It is a lovely place but was disappointed as it is a member of Preferred Hotels and we have has over the top experiences at other sister hotels. I suspect the Ritz or the Fairmont would have better suited us. As a prior reviewer wrote they squeezed every last dime out of us for parking and corkage at the spa (eventhough we spent almost $500). The spa service was amazing. The best massage I have ever had but again the spa is outdated by twenty years. Definitely have drinks or dinner at Big 4 bar which was great and I imagine it is a wonderful place to spend rainy afternoon.
