Paid for high floor with city view. Was on 5th floor with a very limited view. When booking it said that was the total cost everything including but ended up having to pay an additional $40 resort fee at check out. Hotel and staff were great, not sure if the issue is with it hotel or a misprint on hotels.com

The staff are extremely friendly and the hotel is beautiful. It was a bit steep for valet parking, $72, but that was all they had. All in all, we really enjoyed our trip.

I have stayed at the property over four decades on and off. The rooms have been remodeled and now are quite charming. The remodel brings the property to modern standards while retaining a quaintness that was comfortable.
