Older hotel, the room was smaller but the location was great for my purpose. There is a lot of construction in the area, but a hotel always gets major points with me when I arrive before check in time and the room is ready.

The sole issue we encountered was with the front desk gentleman, who made me feel somewhat uncomfortable. I'm uncertain whether it was due to my attire or his reluctance to explain the hotel fees. I discovered the hold on my card only because another guest, staying next to us, informed the person checking in about it. The front desk attendant didn't mention it; instead, he simply handed us our key card and room number, seeming somewhat dismissive. On the positive side, the rooms were clean and nice, and the hotel's structure is stunning. However, the breakfast selection was limited considering the price, and our waiter was overly attentive, repeatedly checking if we were finished and presenting the bill prematurely, which made me feel rushed and uncomfortable, prompting us to conclude our meal. My primary concern lies with the service rather than the hotel itself.

This place was an excellent place to stay with its historical history. I would only say, the only complaint i would give is that the bed was very uncomfortable. I tossed and turned all nights and would wake up very sore. Other then that, it was awesome to stay there. I still gave it 4 and a half stars.
