This hotel was built in 1895 and it has been modernized. It has 1895 architecture but also has new technology, such as tapping your room key to open your room door. What blew my wife and I away is that it was like walking into a castle. From the moment we stepped inside, we were treated very nicely. Hotel is huge and we actually got lost finding our way around. But someone was always around to guide us. Hotel is beautiful, room was clean, and the built in tv in the mirror in the bathroom was a nice touch. The shower was beautiful with the nice tiling and the classic tub was separate from the shower. The free water and free coffee was nice, but also when we ordered room service, they rolled in a table with a warmer underneath! Table had a white table cloth and any condiments we needed were on top relevant to the food we had ordered. The delivery hostess, like everyone else, also treated us very nicely. I asked the front desk about the parking slip I had in my hand. He took it and said he would take care of it. When we left, we simply tapped our room key to exit the parking area and parking was free. If I could give this more stars, I would. Any time we come back to this area, this is the hotel ww will always stay at.

Do this trip yearly for my wife. Valet was backed up, no direction given on parking/leaving keys etc. was supposed to get free valet as VIP Expedia member, did not. Massage was phenomenal, but health facilities are in the basement, no sunlight, freezing cold, dated. Room smelled like body odor. We were out on a low floor, our view was a roof and a noisy HVAC unit. The shower drain backed up until you were standing in ankle deep water. At some point the in room mini bar was turned into unrefrigerated soft drinks and assorted snacks, which was disappointing. This was compounded by Lemair being closed for renovations. Made a dinner reservation and was not notified about the renovation and alternative seating and smaller menu in the TJ Millers downstairs. Dinner was decent but the dining room was dirty. The blinds hadn’t been cleaned in years, it looked like. I’ve likely stayed here 10+ times over the last 15 years and it was always mine and my wife’s treat to each other. Looks like we will have to find a new “five star” hotel for spoiling each other.
