This is supposed to be the most elegant hotel in the area. We got the most basic room: tiny, dark with a few of a closed off air shaft! It was pretty creepy. Granted we got a good price but I would have paid more for a view and some air and light. And it was made worse by getting texts from the hotel sending superlatives about how our visit must be the most charming and delightful time we've ever experienced in their hotel. When I finally said, well, no, it wasn't...they did finally give us free breakfasts, which were good. But, it was a strange experience.
