8. The negatives at this hotel were mostly cancelled out by the amazing room rates obtained for this wedding compared to nearby hotels (Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Westin), however, it is sad that such a storied hotel seems to be struggling to keep up with the newer, nicer and much better managed hotels around it.
