This was an absolutely fabulous period hotel, well updated, phenomenal staff, adequate dinner options at the in house restaurant/bar. The elevator is small, but efficient. The staff was gracious about helping carrying baggage up stairs to the check in. The location can NOT be beat for access to the city and all of its views, train and bus transit etc.
