The hotel we stayed in was built 130 years ago and was definitely built to be a 5 star hotel of the time. Architecturally it was beautiful. I would say that the beauty of it is still 5 star. A few things I would rate lower. The beds weren't bad, just very firm. The first room they gave us was in a moldy hallway, so I would have to hold my breath and run down the hall, so I didn't have a hard time breathing later. The shower wall was also broken so it swung out like a door instead of a wall. We didn't want to break it completely, so we asked if they had any other rooms. They switched us to another room that was very similar, but the tub had a clog in it. It definitely didn't drain. And the streaming services never were connected to our account, so we weren't able to watch movies or anything. They have an amazing spa in the hotel and great food. Jer and I got a pedicure and massage Friday afternoon. It was very relaxing and very professional space for the spa. They apparently keep bees on the roof too and make things like honey lotion from them. We'd never used a valet service before either, but it's required for the patrons. The head valet was amazing and took good care of us. The helper misplaced our car and we had to wait for it for a while.... and a separate time, he tried to give us the wrong key with our car. There was often live music and teatime in the hotel lobby was a lot of fun to watch. One family with little kids dressed up to the nines with hats, matching dress and gloves. It was so cute. Overall, it was a fun experience, but not entirely 5 star anymore.
