I just spent the last 3 nights there and will be back in a few weeks. Nice hotel. Beautiful building. Pretty cool to think about how a Freemason meeting was probably going on in the bar 80 years ago. All the marble floors are clearly classically aged and high quality. I was disappointed in 2 things though.

1. I am Platinum and my room was a standard room facing the freeway. The hotel didn't seem full. I didn't ask about upgrade on check in but will next time. Seems as a PLT I would have at least gotten a room facing the capital

2. The valet was slooooow. 10-15 minutes to get the car. I will chalk it up to the rain but still, the place isn't that big for it to take that long.

A much better hotel than the FS Marriott around the corner and I will stay there again but I wasn't completely overwhelmed with my first stay. Hopefully it will be better on the next trip.
