"This is beautiful, nostalgic and historic property. The staff is warm and helpful, and the cookies and champagne were a nice touch. It’s clean but alas, it smells old. Let’s get to the room- I had no view (but you can get great views in the restaurant). The bed was ok (soft sheets, good pillows and nice comforter) but with some divots in the mattress, it was not the perfect sleep I would expect at a luxury property at this price point. Amenities were average. Carpet could use a steam clean. Here are the two big negatives. 1. parking is $43 a day and it’s a hassle- you have to scan a QR code and download an app, upload your info in order to pay for parking- if you have reception. Otherwise, walk around til you find reception and then start over. My suggestion- do away with this third party parking fiasco. 2. Thank you for the room “credit” of $40 a day to cover one order of ONE scrambled egg breakfast which costs...$40. My suggestion would be an $80 food credit. But I guess I paid for the experience of eating said breakfast in a beautiful setting with my lovely husband- and that, I can NOT complain about. It was a nice stay but I’m picky. ;)"

"This hotel is in a great location. Easy walking distance from Powell station. Tons of shopping and restaurants nearby. Staff was very friendly! There was an elevator out of service all weekend- which was a bit of a pain because there was TON of events going on in the city so the hotel was packed. My room was small but it was fine for what I needed it for. It’s a bit old, overall clean enough. My housekeeper was great and very attentive. The pool is not THAT heated, especially since the courtyard is mostly in the shade it was too chilly to take a dip- wish there was a hot tub! I do wish the coffee service went longer it seemed to run out each day"
