This is a historical hotel; rooms will remind you of a luxury European hotel, not an American hotel. That said, you must understand the linens are luxurious; the furniture classic and weathered; the bathroom facilities 1970's (i.e. brown tubs and toilets from the 1970's but newer, excellent shower heads). I like this place; I could live in the French Room, a lovely five-star hotel. That said, walls are worn; views of parking lots on all sides due to location; paneling worn; housekeeping untimely and needing reminders from guests (at 8:45PM) to pah-leez come and clean. Promised newspapers not delivered. Tips seem to really help attain service from valet to housekeeping to luggage storage. Complimentary sedan serves 3-miles radius from 12PM-8PM. Make sure you get a good rate; the top rates should be better invested in another hotel's services. BTW, homeless gentleman entered the sitting lobby (right of main entrance) at 6PM and asked for money from me and many others; there is no doorman at this entrance. I quickly called security...downtownlocation requires vigilence. Starbucks at Magnolia next door; 7-11 on corner.
