Our experience here was exemplary. Jennifer and Austin at the front desk were welcoming, friendly, funny and very helpful. The premiere king room we stayed in was beautifully decorated, tastefully preserving both the character of the old hotel and offering modern upgrades. The bed was soft and comfortable and the towels were plush. Room had a nice city view, was quiet and very clean. The hotel itself is lovely and we took some time wandering around the main floor looking at photos and some very interesting memorabilia from bygone days. All in all, a brief but memorable stay. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others or stay there again.
