I enjoy this hotel. Good restaurants and bar. Lots of bourbons choices. It has the feel of an old style hotel with the glamour of yesteryear. It has some maintenance issues that shoud be addressed - some obvious wear and tear - but the feel of the hotel’s old pomp and history is there. Recommended.
