“In my opinion, the hotel retains a classic luxury that recalls its nearly century-old legacy, particularly in the lobby and main dining areas. The location is excellent for accessing downtown attractions, and the inclusion of a speakeasy-style bar adds to its appeal. While some aspects may show their age, the hotel's historical significance and dedication to wellness, including a full-service spa, remain distinctive.”
