Pros:

Everything about the property was nice. I loved the sixth-floor Rooftop restaurant and bar, I enjoyed the lobby-level bar, and the room was clean and the bed was relaxing. My only gripe is that the loud noises from the street level go on throughout the night. Loud motorcycles till 3 a.m., loud car stereosystems either woke me up out of a sleep or I couldn't fall back asleep. We are in a college town so that plays into it.

Pros:

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and the valet is easy and they are super helpful even during busy times when they are getting many cars.

Great gym, check restaurant hours - they seem to be open more on the weekends.

Pros:

The hotel is perfectly located near good restaurants and the Yale Art Gallery and Yale Center for British Art. The interior design is gorgeous throughout the hotel and the rooms are spacious and well-appointed with an apartment-style kitchen, including pots, pans, utensils, dishwasher, sink, microwave, fridge, and two electric burners. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very professional, and the the valet service was convenient (you enter on the side of the building, around the corner from the main lobby entrance to drop off your car for valet). My only complaint is the poor sound insulation: you could easily hear noise from the hallway and from mechanical systems, and I was woken up in the middle of the night by someone blasting a boombox outside on the street. In spite of this, I would definitely stay here again!

Pros:

Beautiful hotel and fantastic staff inside. My only gripe is that the Valet parking employees were difficult to find and 2 of the 4 lacked the professionalism you would hope for when trusting someone with your vehicle. Also, some uniforms instead of sweatpants and hoodies would help them out.

Nice property. Walls and floors are thin. You can hear people above you walking and the TV in the room next door. Nice but noisy.
