A pleasant surprise
We booked this hotel, because we really were looking for space for our family of 4. I was skeptical to book because of the tripadvisor rating. So my fingers were crossed that this place would deliver for my very picky family. And it turns out , This hotel is not rated as high as it should be. And i was happy I chose it and not one of the trendier boutique hotels that I had considered. 
We checked in on Saturday, booked a 1 bedroom suite. The room was really big, perfect for us- even had a dining table and 2 bathrooms! And, even though there were some quirky "old" issues, ie: the keys didn't work properly, the old historic "servador" was sort of hanging there.... this place had character. Our kids thought it was really neat. I would call it a "grand dame" of hotels. And worth a visit. The staff was among the FRIENDLIEST i have ever encountered. 
A peak into a regular room down the hall, did reveal that it was really small, as described on the other reviews, but if you can pay for the suite or a tower room you probably won't be disappointed. 
Another plus, our suite came with access to the tower lounge, which was a cold buffet breakfast each day. And, happy hour each weekday evening....
