text: This is now The Waldorf Caledonian or The Caledonian A WaldorfAstoria Hotel depending on where you look An old and musty though nice and elegant hotel The hotel is showing its age but renovations are underway Which unfortunately is why I cannot speak to the fitness center or pool Timing is everything There is plenty of weathered wellcarved polished or painted wood around you in the rooms and large hallways the latter often with loudly creaking floorboards The rooms themselves are goodsized and have modern bathrooms Even the more public bathrooms in the hallways near the conference rooms are kept very clean What I mentally termed the Great Room on the main floor looks like a former outdoor courtyard that has been enclosed and covered with a large skylight it is beautiful and very comfortable for resting in the eveningnnThe staff is wonderfully friendly knowledgeable and efficient especially the lobby staff at the front desk and the concierge Also the hotels outstanding location is within easy walk of many sights food and drink options and transportation
