Great pictures and report. We have stayed here quite a few times and the service has continued to improve and it's a big favorite of ours. Compared to other big cities, the price is not bad for the room.,and the view We've got a stay coming up at the end of January..can't wait and you mentioned two items I hadn't seen before. .the Waldorf bear.,got to have one, and the jazz music at the long bar..will have to check that out..
You didn't mention the chocloate balls or shortbread cookies in the little mason jars. .they are the best!
