This hotel is reminiscent of days long gone by, but with the necessary modern amenities. The king suite is huge. The bed was comfortable. It was very hot outside, but the two a/c window units kept the room plenty cool (along with two ceiling fans). The shower had hot water and plenty of pressure. The bathroom has very little shelf space. The hotel has been renovated, but without being too modernized. The character and atmosphere remain…uneven and squeaky floors, old furniture, old carpet, sort of dark and dingy (but in a good way, not dirty) while at the same time having a good shower, a comfortable bed, a coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave. The shuttle service is great. The continental breakfast was good and delivered to our room exactly on time each morning. The walking tour was interesting and the guide was exceptional. The convenience of an on-site restaurant and bars was appreciated. My only complaint is that I am not a fan of their pricing model. A resort fee is added to the published base room rate and gratuities are automatically added to all restaurant, bar, and room charges… with opportunities to add more tips. I see that as a marketing tactic (unappreciated) to make prices appear lower than they actually are. While I was aware of those additional charges (and willing to pay them) it would be easy for someone to perceive prices to be lower than they actually are (which I think is the idea). I would stay there again and I would recommend the hotel to friends (with the caveat to be aware of the resort fee and the automatically added gratuities).
