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.
