We loved the historical atmosphere and all the cool places to just relax --chairs, sofas and tables everywhere! We did NOT love the lights from the street shining in our windows with no way to block it! The room was very light all night long. We would love to stay here again but not if there aren't blocking curtains or shades. Also--a short note on the operation of the heating remote would be useful!

The front desk staff was not friendly and disengaged. The breakfast on Saturday was inedible. Sunday was better. Location was good. And it was a lovely, old hotel. Not really worth the cost, in my opinion.

The facility did warn that stairs were required to reach the second story rooms in the annex. It did not inform us that it was actually two flights of very steep stairs. Given the altitude it was a challenge for those of us from the eastern coast to carry baggage up them easily especially for those having arthritis, pulmonary or coronary conditions.
