Beware what room you book! I booked a Deluxe Room and it was a dungeon with no windows. They would not let me switch rooms as they claimed I booked a Deluxe Interior Room but there was no mention of this in the listing. I am surprised it is legal to have a hotel room without windows for fire safety purposes.

Beautiful hotel

We have stayed at this hotel in the past and have always enjoyed the service. It’s an iconic older hotel but it is in fantastic shape. They do not skimp on amenities. The only downfall was the pillows on the bed that were rock hard and flat.
