The hotel Northland is historic and very cool. They have done a good job keeping the old charm and history and blending it with modern touches and conveniences. Poke the Bear is a restaurant located in the hotel, on a Saturday afternoon there was no one in there and we stopped for lunch and got attitude because we didn't have a reservation. We were happy to sit at the bar but were then told they didn't have any reservations until dinner so they would seat us, so why the big deal about a reservation? The food is really good, many options to choose from and very fresh, prices are a little high but pretty much what you would expect from a hotel. Even if you don't eat there, stop by the Walnut room at least for a drink. It is original to the hotel and pretty cool, again it's pricy (appetizers average about $16.00, but the food is great(try the crispy pork belly). The rooms are beautiful, pretty spacious and modern with historic touches and reasonably priced depending on the time of year and the type of room. So the reason for only three stars is the staff, every single person, with the exception of the maintenance man, that we encountered was rude, especially the front desk staff, pretty disappointing and ruined what would otherwise be a great place.
