Staff was very nice despite there being a late check in (room wasn't available at check-in time) and the restaraunt is top notch, loved the cuisine and wait staff there. I do think some of the rooms need to be updated and the lighting was a bit dim, but with the museum and other amenities attached, it's not a bad hotel stay. But definitely could use those improvements above.
