Overall positive—easy checking in and out, great staff, excellent dining room, quiet, safe, easy parking next to hotel. Easy access to highway, but not next to freeway, allowing the area to be quiet. Only negative was room needed updating, pretty dated. I would stay there again as I noticed other floors were being renovated.

Stayed for a night, family of 5, got two queen beds. Spacious rooms, windows open to swimming pool on 4th floor. Lot of history as you go around the various spaces (particularly on the ground floor). Cellar for wines, barber shop, gym, dining and restaurant. The chairs pianos at couple places and the fireplaces will reflect on the grandeur and history. The wooden interior is stunning. Courteous staff and clean rooms for the prize, highly recommended if you are in that area.
