Some machines in the 24-hour fitness center include LCD TVs with earphones. A business center with both Macs and PCs is open 24 hours a day (surcharge). Overnight shoeshines are complimentary, as are morning newspapers.

A bust of Thomas Jefferson watches over every guestroom, reminding guests of the hotel's historical significance.
