Vaughn, Sept 2018
Pros (+) For being snack dab in the middle of downtown and over 100 years old, the room was very spacious, and the bed was comfortable
Cons (-) I ordered room service for dinner and had the breakfast buffet in Garden Court - both were decent but definitely below my expectations of what a luxury hotel can deliver in terms of quality & creativity on the menu.

Cons (-) Coffee/wifi in room would be nice, but that's unfortunately the nature of the beast (Hol Inn Express does that, not most upscale). I went with two hyperactive twin boys, and though not an ideal hotel for kids in most ways, the staff was very patient and accommodating with them.
