Nicely situated, great history

This hotel is wonderfully situated, and has a lot of history. The staff were wonderful & so helpful & friendly. For the cost ($600 a night after taxes & fees) I would have expected breakfast to be included; the room furniture is a bit outdated for the cost, & the towel warmer & floor warmer didn’t work, but the room was comfortable & I liked that anything in the mini bar was complimentary.
