Spend your money elsewhere!

We came here for a girlfriend’s birthday and the rooms are pretty filthy. I know it’s a historic and old hotel..but wow, we didn’t even feel comfortable showering. We made the best of it and ate at Bella Trattoria (pretty good!). The worst part is when we checked out the next day. We asked the front desk if we could see the 4th floor (rotunda gardens) because we heard it was pretty. She said yes. We went up there and within 5 mins, was confronted by security guards who asked us to show a room key to show we were guests. We said we JUST checked out downstairs minutes ago. He said since we are no longer guests and must leave immediately. Then he followed us to the elevator to insure we left! We were treated like trespassing criminals! They surrounded us in the lobby when we complained to the front desk about the treatment. They then said it was a misunderstanding that we were told we could go there…yet ZERO apology from security about the embarrassing treatment. They said it’s policy that once we check out, we can no longer go on the 4th floor?! Like what? Zero signs or anything posted saying we cannot go just to see it? Then the security guard said we cannot be taking photos with a “real camera” and only phones. He said we needed a photoshoot pass. One of our friends just had a regular camera and she in no way taking professional photos! Absolutely disgusted with the way we were treated and was an awful way to end our wkd after spending so much money on 2 rooms ($550+ each).

The property is beautiful and looks like a former monastery, it’s feels like being in a museum. Really incredible story and past guests, including several US presidents. However, I asked to stay one additional night that was not planned. I spoke to the front desk and they guarantee that everything would be fine. When arriving back to the hotel the last night, all my things were taken away and they never were able to return them to me. The manager wasn’t available until the next day at the time of my check out. He seemed to be hiding in the office. And he was not helpful nor had a proper attitude. It was a disappointing end to a nice stay. The whole staff was very nice. But I lost valuable things and they never had an answer for what happened. The hotel refund my stay expenses but I won’t be able to recover some clothes and objects that were taken away. One suggestion: a property that beautiful should have a much better and professional manager.

The entire experience was a beautiful one. First time here and I’m definitely returning back in February. The staff was absolutely lovely from the valet the the servers in the dinning room area. The only thing that I would say is that lobby staff in the front desk could be a lot more friendlier. Other than that, loved, loved this hotel! Thank you.

Great location

Great spot.. beautiful architecture and decorated for the Christmas season. It is in a great location close to restaurants and bars. Had trouble getting hot water at night and in the morning for shower, but when I called them about it, they waived resort fee.
