It was just okay. Our room seemed old. It had an old bathtub that you had to stand in to shower. I only booked here because I read that it had been renovated! Also, the view was not great at all.

Great Hotel, not great desk staff.

Room was great, very clean and the bed comfortable as well. Unfortunately during my stay one of the gentleman at the front desk was very rude and made my stay more difficult than necessary. Was delayed Friday evening due to weather and didn’t arrive until Saturday morning. Was told that since I was early to check-in that my room was not ready yet. Despite technically being a day late to my booking. I reiterated that my booking was actually for the previous day and was still told the same thing. So either he was too lazy to look up an open room from the previous night or the hotel double booked my room. I have a whole list of other interactions between us and not enough characters to explain it all out. Long story short, this gentleman was extremely unhelpful during the whole process and is the reason my rating is not a full 5 stars.

I hate the new decor; it’s tacky and inconsistent. The worst thing is no coffee pots in rooms. The valet parking is way too expensive, and staff is blasé. Why take a beautiful classy hotel and make it ugly?

The room was nice but the construction in the lobby and around the elevators made moving around cumbersome. They should have offered discounts, you should not have to ask if their construction infringes on your ability to move around the property

The hotel is undergoing a major renovation of which we were not aware of. The lobby was loud, dirty and inconvenient. There was only one elevator working which multiple times had so many construction workers that we had to wait for the next or even multiple elevator’s. The fire alarm went off several times leaving us uncomfortable not knowing if there was an issue or if was a side effect of the work being done. We paid full price to stay there and had we known about the situation there, we would have booked elsewhere.
