The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. We especially loved the hotel’s authentic historic charm — from the old-fashioned, sentimental phone booths to the beautiful pianos that added so much character.

The room was spacious and the corner windows with window seats were very inviting. We had a room on the 5th floor so we're high above traffic noise and had a very nice view of the distant Hills. Breakfast was exquisite and reasonably priced.
