A great historic hotel although needs some attention. Despite cost of room, breakfast was not included. The buffet breakfast was very disappointing with limited options, dried food and ran out of coffee. I went to the historic Plaza Cafe the next two mornings which was very friendly and wide range of breakfast options.
