This is a really, really cool place. We stayed at the hotel for three nights. The bottom two floors are open to the public and there are some shops and restaurants. The history and architecture of the building is what really sets it apart. The room we stayed in was also really clean and nice. However, they hosted wedding receptions on the first floor 2 of the 3 nights we were there, and the music is so loud you can hear it in your room until the event is over, which is usually around midnight. Aside from that, it's a really fascinating building and a nice hotel.
