It is a historic hotel but the rooms should be upgraded. My room door is jammed and I have to push it really hard to get it opened. Room is clean but dated.

The electronic keys didn't work so we had to have security let us into our room every time. They got the keys fixed, then they broke again. I called the front desk and security came out and the guy was rude, when I asked if this was going to continue to be a problem, he didn't even get off his phone, he turned and walked away from me. The pictures on the website are deceiving. The rooms are very small. They need updating...which can be done and stay "historic". The people working in the restaurant were very nice.
