• • • Frommer's Review: "The Waverley is adorned in high Victorian style, as befits its 1866 provenance. There's walnut trim, red upholstered furniture, and portraits of sourpuss Victorians at every turn. The headboards in the guest rooms are especially elaborate -- some look like props from Gothic horror movies."
