Disliked: Room comfort
Not a good value for the exorbitant room rate
First of all, trying to get parking information from the front desk was extremely confusing. They kept telling us that parking was in the hotel building, not the building across the street, which we eventually figured out. The bed mattress and bed pillows were hard and extremely uncomfortable. Our room was on the first floor and I tried to utilize the ice machine on my floor. Empty. Went to tell hotel staff because I thought they might want to refill it. The desk attendant could not be bothered and told me to go all the way up to the 4th floor and get ice. I was disappointed with our overnight stay after reading “exceptional” reviews, and especially after paying what I paid for the one night stay. Both my husband and I give the hotel a C. The one bright point of our stay was walking down to the 1844 restaurant just to check it out and we engaged in a very nice conversation with the hostess at the desk who was very nice and helpful. The front desk staff needs more people like her.

Having a banquet hall right next door which was always loud and attendees took parking from the hotel was not ideal!

I love this place!
The only problem encountered is that the shower stall in my room had incredibly slick floor. I would really hate to see someone get hurt and sue the hotel. Other than that, it was wonderful!

Two requests for early arrival were denied. Initial room assignment was abysmal, with only window view obstructed by rooftop mechanical and otherwise overseeing a garbage dumpster. Hotel's featured "Crow's Nest" rooftop. cocktail room was not open (we were told it is not open on Sundays, such fact was not stated or at best, was not clear, on website.
