I think this is Private members only club. Property is not easy to find for the first timer. (I had to drive around few times to figure out the entrance of the building .) Parking is about 2 blocks away. Currently going under Elevator Renovation- No Elevator Option. Property has a lot of history behind. Private clubs. Room is old and windows are old, but very clean. Location is wonderful. If you like sort of old style building, this is it. if you are looking for modern stuff, this property is not it. If you want to dine here, you have to follow dress code (Check with them before you book). Although, there are a lot of food options around the property. Parking can be bit hassle since you will have to grab a Parking key card to park at the underground structure about 2 blocks away and return the parking key card back to the front desk. Parking is $20 (Cheap).

The location is great, but the property is old with limited ameneties in the room. Also, dress code is draconian, and while it sounds ok, my leggings were acceptable but my non frayed lighter color jeans weren't. I wouldn't have minded if this were a 5 star hotel, but it isn't.

The library and reading room were fantastic, and the great place to relax. It would have been nice if they told us the elevator was out of order, especially being on the third floor. Also the dress code was a bit much and they didn't tell us about it until we checked in.

Bad service. Crappy room. Colonist crumble.

Unadvertised dress code makes one feel unwelcome.
