1. Had breakfast in the dining room one morning and thought the one piece of French Toast was good but very overpriced.

2. You can tell they are cutting back, there was no room turn down service, we had to move rooms after the first night as our room was noisy, Room service took way too long, was overpriced and there was nothing on the plate, it was more like a starter than a main course.

3. This hotel has incredible history and beautiful architecture but once you've seen all the magnificant common rooms (lobby, ballroom, Palm Court, old style elevators) it isn't any different than any other overpriced, 4 star historical hotel.
