The property has so much history and does a great job of presenting the cool, fun facts about the history of the property while also being updated and modern. The location is perfect- so many fun shops, bars and restaurants to walk to, not to mention the fun lounge bar inside the hotel as well, Salt & Whiskey is great! My husband and I have stayed here a couple times now and we enjoy it very much!
