A quality hotel with great access to many historic sites nearby.
Pros:

Location of the hotel was excellent. Close to so many attractions that we were able to walk to. Nice vibe around the area.
We were able to walk to explore areas for dinner also. Our room was spacious and the breakfast option upstairs offered a wide variety of choices.

Cons:

The use of lifts was a little challenging, often full either way. The Hotel was hosting a number of conferences while we stayed, contributing to the busyness around the hotel.

Pros:

Ubicación e instalaciones

Cons:

Secador de pelo penoso. Para un hotel de 5 estrellas. La ducha del baño así como el mismo baño muy antiguo y en mal estado, la ducha no valía. Se movía y era pesima

Our stay was very disappointing
Pros:

Unfortunately, the breakfast was terrible cold food
The waiter was extremely unfriendly
The location of the hotel is fabulous
The outside appearance of the hotel, very nice the inside lobby, beautiful the doorman that greeted us at us and the Bellman were very professional very polite very helpful
The front desk attendant was not very friendly
The night attendant was straight up, rude not helpful at all
We asked for a wake up call. We never got one when we let him know that we didn’t receive the wake up call he acted like we were lying and he didn’t care.
I asked for an extra pillow they told me the hotel was fallen. There was none available. I had to ask three times and finally, they found me not one but two extra pillows.
We paid a very high rate of money for this room. We expected a five star, beautiful hotel.
The room looked like it hadn’t been rented it in many many years very disappointed with the room we had paid for an executive suite they said that they upgraded us. I’d hate to see what the original room looked like.
I booked this room two roughly 2 months in advance
The pool attendant was extremely unfriendly. We did not feel welcomed.
The Bell staff and doorman were outstanding

Cons:

Renovate, the rooms, higher, friendly or weight staff higher a friendlier pool attendant lifeguard
Train the front desk staff that we are paying guests and not make us feel like we’re they’re doing us a favour by staying there
