Bad night out
Rough stay at usually a great hotel. Had no one at valet and front desk was very little help at checkin. Overnight our refrigerator must have died, as all the food we bought at a festival was ruined in the morning and the front desk again did nothing but take my name and number with the promise of a call from a manager, which still has not occurred. In fact, the front desk was more interested in charging the $80 for parking than the $150 in ruined food. And for $80 valet it shouldn’t take 20 minutes to park and 20 to retrieve your car.
Usually this is a great hotel and stay often for work, but it was not good for a night away with my wife.

Great location and historic building. Pool and gym are excellent, and the staff/service is top notch. For the price of a room the WiFi could be quicker and a wider range of TV channels provided - but very minor complaints. Overall fantastic.
