Good renovation. Top notch spa, exercise room, big indoor pool. Couple blocks to subway, but fine old neighborhood streets. Beware of $37.00+ daily resort fee, which of course you are never told about in advance.

Great staff and very nice hotel. Had to pay for coffee and consistently ask for water (no refill bottle options). Window cover was broken and had to be removed. Fantastic concierge and tour of the hotel’s nostalgic history. Room was clean and view of the river couldn’t be beat.

The hotel was overall very good and has a great pool And fitness area. Rooms are spacious. The only issue is the TV barely worked for us and we wonder why there is a forty dollar resort fee. TVs should at least work
