Bellman offered to call cabs for you but they were actually private drivers. Although they were nicer vehicles, they were more expensive than just calling a yellow taxi by yourself that drove by. Sometimes the difference in price was $15.00 or $20.00. It was much cheaper to walk away from the hotel and get a price from a yellow taxi driving by.
Breakfast was very good. Great location. Clean, comfortable rooms.
