Passed by the hotel on the way home from work. I have stayed here once before and it was a wonderful visit. They just don't make them like this anymore, which is a shame. Unlike a Holiday Inn, a stay here is practically a vacation in and of itself since roaming the lobby and looking at the fixtures can occupy a good part of the day.

Photos are from an earlier visit.
