Old ... but still good!
Just spent 2 nights there. Great, central location within easy walking distance to excellent shopping, Chinatown, the piers, etc. They really take advantage of the age of the hotel with a cozy "library" feel in the reception and dining/lounge areas. People of all ages and pairings quietly enjoyed the cloistered early evening wine offering. My room was small, but very well appointed and comfortable. Others have commented on the total commitment of the staff to meeting the needs of all guests with a true sense of sincereity. That I found to be true from check-in to a 4:00am checkout. I look forward to returning there with my wife.
