"The Del", as they call it, was built in 1888, and the orginal building is obviously old, yet well maintained.
There is so much to like here. It is elegant. The outdoor bar, dining, and activities are great. Service is good, although it can be slow at times. In the original building, they still have an elevator operator, although I suspect it would not be difficult to reconfigure the elevator so one would no longer be required. But, it is fun.
I was part of a conference, and they tried to upsell me a better room for $50 or $100 per night. I said no, and was given a rediculously small room. Being an old hotel, all the rooms vary in size. The bathroom had been remodeled with very nice fixtures, but they were too big. The toilet faced the sink cabinet, and was so close that I could not sit straight on it. Also, two nights while I was there, the water was shut off during the night, with no warning or explanation.
Overall, I love this hotel, and would stay again.
