Cold outside and warm environment inside. Staff were outgoing and everyone I met had a smile on their face.
Joey had really good knowledge of the building. We enjoyed our stay. The facts about the hotel having a speak easy was intriguing and making the hotel more interesting learning about new things. Enjoyment and passion of the staff was nice.

Come for the Beauty, Stay for the Mob Tunnels
This is a gorgeous hotel with a storied past. If you visit, ask their resident historian, Joey Lasso, to tell you about the secret tunnels built by the mob during prohibition! I'll be back to this gem for sure.
