Actually, the food was just OK, when compared to the beautiful design and condition of the Hotel. So a breakfast more fitting to the excellent environment of the Hotel would be an improvement.

We stayed in the two story with loft during Thanksgiving. Traveling with a 10&16 year old - this was perfect! They had their own space and my husband and I had ours after long days walking and shopping. The area is quiet but always felt safe. The staff was great as well.

The hotel is in a great location with plenty of free parking across the street. Staff was great, especially the bartender. The room was clean and comfortable. We have stayed there before but not since the remodel. The hotel has lost so much of its warmth and charm with the modernization. The breakfast area is terriblely inadequate, just not enough tables and space with the sofas there. It's still a very nice hotel but I think many of the changes weren't well thought.out
