A failure of clarity on my part. The old hotel in the San Juans had communal bathrooms; MMH, of course, had private baths. I get down there (the dining room, not the bathroom) every so often for lunch--a grand, though pricey, indulgence.Mohonk House is an amazing place. No a/c and they make gentlemen wear a jacket for dinner.
I do not remember bathrooms down the hall though. Really great place.
I guess that leaves me out.

I got to see the ducks when I visited Memphis. I thought that was pretty neat.The Peabody in Memphis is pretty cool. Nice lobby with the parade of the ducks each morning and evening. I look forward to direct flights from SW FL to Memphis beginning this fall. We also stayed at the Mark Hopkins in San Francisco in 2015. The rooms were pretty small by today's standards. Top of the Mark is a cool spot to have an adult beverage. Little bit of history at each hotel.
At least you get a private bathroom--sort of.
That looks absolutely outstanding!Mike:
As a original Michigander (from East Lansing...'Say Yes to Pure Michigan'), The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island is a old hotel (1887), that I had a pleasure of staying at in my youth and from the reviews and friends...it's still a place of wonder, beauty, charm, elegance and well worth the money, (I intend to take the Mrs. there for our next vacation (and visit my family), next summer!

That's the hotel I was referring to in my earlier post; I had just forgotten its name. Something I do remember, however, was the evening ceremony striking the colors--signaled by the firing of a small cannon.Rosario - This one was a mansion on Orcas Island (shipbuilder Robert Moran), but became a well known resort in Washington’s San Juan Islands. I brought my own room (moored my sailboat there, many decades ago), but enjoyed the food, swimming pool, and dancing. And especially enjoyed access to some sanitary facilities larger and more stable than the head on a small sailing cruiser. A shared bathroom down the hall can be quite the luxury.

Sorry.... I could not help myself. [don't forget...."...the best place to hide is in plain sight".Opps...sorry, I too couldn't help myself ]
But seriously.. El Convento in old San Juan has had a major update since we last stayed there.
And the venerable Broadmoor
Both quite an experience.
