We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. The Raphael does have a pretty great view of The Country Club Plaza. Look forward to seeing you again on a future visit.

Didn’t like the fact that upon check in they informed us that our room had changed. The only reason we even wanted to stay was for a room with a view. Huge bummer to be on the first floor facing the noisy parking garage. Not worth the money.

The Raphael understands your frustration and apologizes for the frustration you encountered upon checking into the hotel. The hotel experienced an issue with the particular room type you had reserved and that is the reason we had to put you in another room We hope that you can give us another try in the future and we can WOW you in the way you deserve. If you would like to come stay again please contact the us directly.

The hotel was nice, but seems a little dated. The location was great, the bed was comfortable, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.
