I want to classify I normally stay at Hampton Inn's but have also stayed in very nice hotels all over the world. I choose to stay here because of the history of architecture. I will say I have stayed at other Waldorf and RItz Carlton properties and this doesn't even come close to the upscale hotel you would expect. (but I didn't pay the price of those either) I stayed in a hampton inn down the street for 2 nights before and the bed and pillows were actually much more comfortable at the hampton inn. The pool area had broken chairs which I thought was weird because you have to pay a $resort fee each night to stay there. If you are expecting old world charm and great architecture, stay here. If you are expected to be pampered and have great amenities pass this place up because it won't meet your expectations. It is worth a one night stay just to say you have been there and look at this history of the hotel.
