So much character in this place. My bathroom was beautifully tiled and updated. Some things about the room were a little worn out (window paint and carpet), but the character and warmth of the space outweigh any of that. The bed was very comfortable. I found the whole experience restful. And the air conditioning worked really well for an old building. Staff was also warm and welcoming.

We really liked this hotel. It's beautiful, but it was not without a few hiccups. First, there was no coffee maker in the room, and the coffee in the lobby was usually tepid at best. Second, upon arrival, we were told by the receptionist that there was a concert at the hotel the next night that we could enjoy. It turns out that the concert required tickets which had been sold out since May. Finally, one of the receptionists was not responsive to questions I had about an elevator which was broken. I would stay there again, but only if the rates were discounted.

Rooms were clean and nicely appointed. The grounds are perfectly kept and beautiful. Golf was amazing, Five Steakhouse was fabulous as usual. Such a treasure in our own backyard.

While I was impressed with the on-site dining options and the overall customer experience (amiable and professional staff; excellent furnishings and fixtures, overall design aesthetic, etc.), I did take serious issue with a couple details that a hotel of the Shinola's caliber should be on top of, including: My overriding issue is with the acoustics of the room. I was situated on the 5th floor, but was absolutely able to hear every street sound (cars, music, etc.) and conversation being had by pedestrians! Its outstounding to me that a 5-star downtown hotel has not anticipated noise issues and addressed them through insulation and triple-pained windows. My only other minor complaints include a bathroom sink that quickly backed up; the sliding bathroom door demanded maximal force to close; and when I went to get into bed it was evident that their was not fitted sheet on the bed, and the base sheet had not been tucked in, so I was compelled to tuck it in myself so as not to sleep on the mattress cover directly.

Limited dining options after 11:00 pm
