1. The elevators have a plaque in each car describing why they kept the original elevators, which are a bit creaky and a bit slow but so worth the extra charm.

"Charming! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/18/2011 Vote

2. The living room had original wood flooring which was creaky but cool and with the modern furniture made it feel like a hip urban loft.

"Beautiful building w/ great service and friendly staff. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/31/2010 Vote

3. The elevators are a little creaky and obviously at least the interiors are original, but there's a sign in the elevator reassuring the passengers that even though the elevators have 'character,' they are inspected on a regular basis, and are actually quite safe.

"A great hotel in downtownn Dallas! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/12/2010 Vote

4. The way they have preserved the feel of an elegant grand hotel--from the service to the amenities to the creaky elevators--really is amazing and makes for a wonderful experience.

"Wonderful stay--between the service, amenities, and old-world charm, I left pampered and feeling downright elegant! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/28/2010 Vote

5. The only drawback was the slow, creaky elevators -- and the staff anticipated that problem with a brass plaque warning us that the elevators were in keeping with the historic nature of the building.

"The friendliest, most helpful hotel staff I've seen in a long time. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/19/2010 Vote

6. The bad: When the hotel is full (which is often, since they have a deal with the federal govt), you can wait more than 5 minutes for one of the slow, creaky, mildly scary elevators, half of which tend to be out of service at any one time.

"Badly in need of an upgrade. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/1/2010 Vote
