Although the building is historic and gorgeous I was extremely disappointed.
I had a very uneasy feeling as I waited to be buzzed in to the hotel to check in. The front desk only had one person working (Carlos) who was fabulous but he was on a call and there were several people waiting. Once he was finally able to check me in I was disappointed again when I was told I would have to find public parking somewhere. I complained a bit about it and all of a sudden the full parking had a parking stall available... at the cost of 35 dollars. I see everyone else saying they got it cheap... i did not get it cheap it was very expensive, so to pay an additional 35 for parking was a tad annoying. The breakfast was awful.. worst continental I have ever seen. Mel's drive in attached to the hotel though served up some excellent food and great ambience. It is located rather close to everything but not quite in the fishermans wharf like I had requested from hotels.com. So that was disappointing, especially as we walked past so many other hotels closer to where we wanted to be! The pillows were old and dead and we feared bed bugs, the sheets are old and dead and wearing thing. It was not a comfortable home away from home feeling. The oldness of the hotel definitely suits the age of the hotel, but does not create a comfortable ambience by any means. The staff although not enough of them were fabulous with answering questions and assisting with things.
I will not stay here again, but if you dont care about comfort price or breakfast then it will do.
