Historic Yes, Comfortable NO!!!
I am writing this from my "room" at the Mayflower. I was told upon check in that I was reserved a very nice room. "Nice Room" consists of a the 2nd floor view of a air unit on the half-roof which is viewed from a 5x7 window. The air conditioner in my room has been working great - blasting at 79-degrees. The room is actually smaller than my office back in Chicago. Think small dorm room complete with a beaten and very worn dorm size floor fridge! This room does not even have a reading chair. Yes the lobby is stunning I agree. The employees have been wonderful. The hotel is central to all your needs, but just don't get room 251 and possibly you'll be alright.
