This hotel has beautiful bones. Glimpses of its former glory are everywhere. On the plus side: prompt valet parking, easy check-in, pretty public spaces, very comfortable beds, with the exception of the shower needing a good spray of bleach on the grout, the rooms were clean. The downside: absolutely frigid temperatures in the lobby and hallways. Musty smelling hallway on on floor (fortunately, not in the room ) Very strange lighting in the lobby - made it feel cold and unwelcoming. The bar was understaffed, but the drinks were solid and the bartender good. I know it's January and slow, but the place just really felt sad - perhaps some music playing in the lobby? Copies of Gatsby in the rooms? Some fragrance?
