In desperate need of a makeover...
Not bad if you can get a good rate -- right in the center of the tourist district... but the hotel -- while beautifully historic, is in need of renovation. I was in the main building -- not the tower, so the tower may be better -- but rooms in the main building are old old old.. furniture is worn and carpeting stained. Really in need of a remodel.. even if it's just new fabrics. Side note: I'm super skeptical of these "Decline Maid Service to Save the Environment" programs like they have at this hotel.. particularly when they flood the place with newspapers every morning... if you're trying to conserve resources, there's gotta be a better way to do it. That said, the staff was helpful and friendly.
