Dont go there unless in a convention
This is an "experience" hotel...it is old with a wonderful history , but, unless you are on a business trip , dont bother. It is famous for its conventions and rightly so, but at the prices we paid for everything I would not expect to be denied basic areas of the hotel for the more important conventioneers. Nothing wrong with it but there should be a big sign on the door " we dont do tourists...it doesn't work".
 Lots of mentally deranged folk hanging about outside, which didn't add to the experience. 
The prices were way past London and New York...some examples...breakfast, two eggs , bacon and hash browns...$28...and service slow with attitude. Final insult , parking at $57 a day. No excuse.
