Yes it's quaint and nostalgic, plus the staff are usually helpful - when they're around - but I don't think I'd come back.
Main problem was the valet parking. I arrived in the afternoon, checked in, and left for business. On returning, they'd completly changed the valet parking drop-off point without telling anyone. Plus, no one was around to help me with my bags. (There's no automatic doors, so if your hands are full and there's no one to open these old, stubborn doors, you can imagine the struggle.) Same thing later that night. When I arrived late to park, I couldn't find the valet and had to go to the desk inside to find someone. In the meantime, a cop was ticketing my car outside. Same thing the next morning - it seemed to take forever to get my car.
The rooms have been remodeled and are nice, except for the plumbing - which apparently wasn't redone. The bathwater was blood red with rust.
The bar downstairs is advertised locally as a "cool" place to hang out, but I was the lone customer at 9pm on a Saturday night.
Maybe it appeals to the snob crowd, but I just don't see the appeal...
