Nice hotel, responsive staff
I stayed at this hotel for a fun weekend with a far-away friend and I was very pleased with the experience.
I did have an issue after I booked, but before I arrived and the hotel staff was friendly, responsive and my concerns were resolved before we arrived. We stayed in a room in the Historic tower. This room was spacious with a seating area and a generous bathroom featuing a tub and a shower. The view was amazing! As others have mentioned, the location is hard to beat. (Also, there is a Trader Joe's right up the street to get snacks and treats for the room.)
All of our interactions with the staff were top notch. Professional and occasionally charming.
The history parts of the hotel are very cool, but hidden. I recommend taking a look at the second and third floor. This hotel would be so much better if there was a lobby or other casual common area in the historic part. 
The two restaurants were not really inviting to just hang out and Starbucks is, well Starbucks. I think there is a hotel restaurant, but I wasn't really told about it and I'm not interested in breakfast at that price! The pool does look incredible and maybe the space I was looking for, but, alas, it was closed, awaiting inspection.
Pro:
Nice room, Super view, great service, location
Con: 
Stuffy design, no lobby or common area, nickel and diming with the $3 bottles of water in the bathroom, etc.
