This iconic hotel is a destination in and of itself. We enjoyed experiencing the history. It harkens back to the days when a hotel room was a place to sleep and bathe, but the public area was where guests gathered in the evening to socialize, make music, play games, find the "secret room" (!), and have an old-fashioned good time. Be aware, though, that the rooms may be old-fashioned small. Our room (the "Elizabeth Scott" room) had a bathroom that was so small that my husband's legs banged up against the toilet while he was shaving at the sink. It wasn't a room to retreat and relax in. Otherwise, though, it was fun to stay at a place full of character and stories, rather than a cookie-cutter chain hotel.

Ronald in the bar was amazing but we had breakfast the next morning and our waitress made us feel like we were putting her out when we ask for a refill of coffee. Music was horrible in the dining room. It seems like you should be able to play some kind of quiet Indian type music in a place like that instead of whatever in the hell was playing!!!! Other than that the room was clean and we loved everything about the hotel.
