What an amazing hotel! Beautifully kept, amazing staff. I didn't stay long enough to enjoy more amenities and I'm ready to return for more experiences there. I enjoyed an amazingly decorated work gala and restful night afterwards. Will definitely try to go back soon.

Their online check-in doesn't work. They force you to wait in the lobby line anyways. The heat didn't work in our room. There is no hot tub by the pool. The bed was very comfortable. The work party was lavish. It was a good venue for the event.

Impressive lobby. Opulent decor. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room. Pool was a little cold but the VIEW is stupendous. Also was not overwhelmingly chlorine-scented as some hotel pools can be. Very quiet room, great for sleeping.

My stay was really nice. The staff were great, and the history was worth the stay. I recommend updating showers in the historic rooms to create a more comfortable experience. Without a hand-held shower head, I did not feel as though I could clean as well. I would have also slept better if the hotel room door was sealed better. I had trouble sleeping due to light coming through door cracks. I was also awoken a few times from slamming doors and screaming guests. I did visit during st. patrick's day though.

Stunning hotel. I love staying in the historic building! Spa services are always wonderful. Highly recommend the Mason Street Grill as well, attached to the hotel. Don’t leave without a drink at the lobby bar in front of the fireplace!

We stayed the night to celebrate our 23rd anniversary. We had a sandwich and drinks when we arrived in the lobby. They were great. We had drinks at blu before heading out to our dinner reservation. The view was beautiful. It was a very nice evening for us to celebrate.
