2. Lobby impressive; bar NOT for anyone except smokers; watch for the STEP UP to the bathroom if you are in the older part of the three buildings; gift shops expensive; mostly young staff - some poorly informed about almost everything; 'historic' applies mostly to the outside and the OLD hotel lobby; rooms not much different from Holiday Inns as to decor; Sunday brunch quite a fun experience, and reasonable - IF a bus load of tourists don't descend, and push and shove at the buffet.
