charmed by the architecture
clean room professional staff
the room was spacious and clean. the pool facilities were well-kept, with convenient changing rooms and provided towels. the staff was very friendly and professional, especially in the restaurant, and at the concierge service.
i could hear people talking through the walls, which affected sleep quality. the noise came from adjacent rooms due to thin walls, this was a significant inconvenience. there were giggles and loud conversations into the late hours.

Acceptable, But a Few Issues
warm room unresponsive maintenance
The location is pretty good, I will give them that.
The room was too warm and I could not adjust the temperature. It was quite unpleasant. I called maintenance, but they never came. I was forced to open the window.

Historic Charm and Excellent Service

I found the valet service excellent. It provided efficient assistance. The location allowed easy access to attractions. Everything was within walking distance. The staff demonstrated friendliness. The gold level lounge was a highlight. I enjoyed breakfast and canapés there.
My room smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. This was somewhat off-putting. The blanket was also thin.

Mixed Feelings at Historic Hotel
ineffective climate control tripping hazard
The room I was given was far from satisfactory. I found a raised spot under the not new carpet. It was a tripping hazard, especially since it was not visible. The climate control was also ineffective so the room remained warm despite the cold weather outside.
