Très belle ville, à refaire
Pros:

La localisation était top, personnel très agréable, très belle chambre

Cons:

Pas bcp de place au restaurant jardin, le déjeuner pouvait être plus fourni pour 40€/personne. Le check-out avec 300€ en trop sur notre facture! Un dîner compté alors qu on a pas dîner là, une erreur dans le prix du déjeuner sur la facture et une erreur sur le prix booking sur la facture. Aucun membre du personnel ne parle le français.

Great location and beautiful hotel, little expensive.
Pros:

The Pulitzer is in a great location. lovely hotel with all the rooms different and interesting, I have stayed here 5 times over 5 years.
Each time in a different style of room. I love the place.

Cons:

My only negative comment is that in the last 5 years nothing has changed in the rooms, but the prices have gone up quite a bit. I think to maintain the prices that other hotels have in the area, it might be time to do some room updates.
Also where are the free waffles in the room gone!

The hotel does not quite live up to its 5-star rating.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room was dirty, a lot of dust, an old bathrobe was dirty and torn, the radiator was burning hot—with no way to turn it off, and a view into a small courtyard, looking toward the computers at the reception desk.
The room didn't match the photos, overpriced for what it is.

The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, professional and went above and beyond to assist in anything we needed.

There was nothing.
