The hotel has been redone beautifully. There were so many thoughtful touches to honor its history. The fitness room was great too. My only complaint is that there wasn't a full length mirror unless you moved all of the towels in the bathroom, but that was just a small inconvenience. I definitely want to try the speakeasy next time!

Excellent stay. From the very beginning being greeted by an incredibly courteous and professional EnZi front desk representative, till the very last moment we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Speakeasy bar was an amazing discovery as well. Highly recommend. Great hotel.
