There was an e loud reception going on when we checked in. We paid extra to reserve a room on the club level for the breakfast and the club room was closed with a breakfast set out in an unmarked meeting room. The room on the 11th floor was far enough from the reception that you couldn’t hear it at all and the room was pretty but there were Some bugs in the bathroom. Overall not worth the 100 extra we paid to stay there as opposed to a less historic property.
