8/10 Very good

The hotel is lovely, and the history really permeates. The pianist in the lobby was elegant, and our meal in the lobby restaurant was wonderful, both the food and the service. The room was large and comfortable, but it was very difficult to cool the room adequately with the air conditioning. It was also adjacent to two busy streets, and the traffic noise was not dampened by the windows much at all. Overall, it was a good stay.
