The accommodations appeared somewhat antiquated. While the customer service was commendable, the early check-in fee was not ideal. Overall, the experience of exploring the diverse exhibits within the hotel's museum was positive.

Staff was very nice despite there being a late check in (room wasn't available at check-in time) and the restaraunt is top notch, loved the cuisine and wait staff there. I do think some of the rooms need to be updated and the lighting was a bit dim, but with the museum and other amenities attached, it's not a bad hotel stay. But definitely could use those improvements above.

Aside from the heater barely working in the rooms in the middle of winter, it was a nice stay. We moved once and both rooms on both floors had poor heating it was uncomfortable. However, the staff were always professional and friendly. The 4 stars are for them
