We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Staff was very friendly. The old Scottish decor was my favorite. This hotel used to be a newspaper building and one of the printing presses is in the lower level. The stained glass, marble, and intricate woodwork was beautiful. The breakfast was very good. Our room was huge. My only issue was when we added another night to the hotel, we were told we had to change rooms.

Everything was wonderful, staff was nice rooms were great. The only thing for improvement would be parking which is impossible due to the location. A valet service would maybe make it easier.

We found the staff to be friendly and helpful, especially since one of our pieces of luggage was missing the first day and they were most helpful in getting it into our room at night. Also, the room was beautifully appointed with lovely, fun amenities.
