A truly beautiful lobby, a marvellous diningroom, laid out with exquisite tatse (british) , darkwood panelling with brass fittings everywhere. What a dissapointment to open the door to our room...
The hotel was used as city hall from 1912 to 1915 and we must have lucked upon the office of the assistant to the assistant undersecretary... The two closets turned out to be one closet and a bathroom. My wife however did make a point of noting the beautiful drapery in front of a window that looked out on a flat roof with AC outlets and a grey wall. Breakfast very good but a la carte and expensive, but that was mitigated by the beaautiful room. Tea was $4 a pot but of fine quality.
Even though nobody was intimidating in any way, my wife was somewhat uncomfortable by the many homeless people around.
$40 for overnight parking, gives you pause for thought...
