The hotel is a landmark and is exquisite, albeit in a worn-in way. The location is excellent -- couldn't get any better. The staff was very helpful and friendly. However, the room was old, worn, and tired, and lacked amenities. Given the fact they claim to be a "luxury hotel," it was sorely lacking in so many aspects and it is most definitely not "luxury." Most of the towels were old and worn; the bathroom, whilst large, had very old plumbing and fixtures. One had to wait for the hot water to get going. We were grateful the hot water was working in our room, because several other guests could not get theirs to work. Sometimes the maid-service would give us plenty of towels, other times, not. They did not provide us with toilet paper when it was very low, we ran out, and had to ask for more toilet paper. After the second day, a coffee machine mysteriously showed up in our room. The day after that, we were not provided with any refills. The TV did not work. There was no mini-bar/fridge. The armoire was large, but the bar to hold up one's clothes was not horizontal, it was slanted from back to front, and some of the hangers were broken (my husband repaired them). The internet connection was very slow. There was no concierge. We were very reluctant to eat in the restaurant, because when we arrived, my husband read some reviews about the kitchen situation, so we passed on dining in the hotel's restaurant. We will likely not stay again at this hotel.
