(This is now The Waldorf Caledonian . . . or \"The Caledonian: A Waldorf-Astoria 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 can't speak to the fitness center or pool.  Timing is everything...)  There's plenty of weathered, well-carved, polished or painted wood around you in the rooms and large hallways (the latter often with loudly creaking floorboards).  The rooms themselves are good-sized 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's beautiful and very comfortable for resting in the evening.\n\nThe staff is wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient; especially the lobby staff at the front desk and the concierge.  Also, the hotel's outstanding location is within easy walk of many sights, food and drink options, and transportation.
