When you request an early check-in and they say sure, you expect to check-in early…they didn’t have the room ready and we had a 3pm wedding. Very disappointing for such a ritzy place

Historic hotel, with historic feel. Had a phantom fire alram one night. Might have been the ghosts. Classic claw feet wooden furniture. If you want modern, my room was not that. But cool old vibe with great location.
