I stayed at the Astor this past weekend for a wedding. After reading some of the older reviews, I was ready to reserve a room at the inn across the street. But was pleased that more recent reviews mentioned the hotel was slowly being updated, so we stayed at the Astor and were very happy we did. When I made... more

A friend and I got a room at the Astor for a wedding this past weekend. The lobby is gorgeous, as we checked in a grandfather clock chimed in the distance and I felt giddy. "I think I heard this place is haunted," Britt said and I gave her a big thumbs up. How exciting, I imagined a stunning society... more

After staying and writing about the Astor in 2004, we returned in 2009 to find it even better! The rooms and suites are being updated and will include wireless internet in the rooms when complete. Right now wireless is available in the lobby and breakfast room. The hallways are brighter and the whole place just seems better. It is a... more

After seeing our room for the first time we asked to be moved but were told that the hotel was fully booked and no other rooms were available.... more

We were in town for my nieces college graduation and seeing how my brother lives about 2 blocks from The Astor it seemed a natural choice. The family actually stayed there 30 years ago for my brother's graduation and it looks like that was the last time anyone spent any attention to the maintainence of anything in the building. Our... more

The shower head was very low for for a person of 6'2", but the stream was powerful and there was an endless supply of very hot water. The radiator leaked a little steam from the valve in a reassuring... more
