good size convenient restaurant major attractions poor hospitality dirty marble late check-in
the hotel is located near major attractions. the rooms were a good size for me. the hotel restaurant was convenient and the bars seemed very good.
the room was not ready at 4 pm for check in, inconvenient. i thought the hospitality was lacking. i noticed marble granite tops in the bathroom were stained, so they looked dirty to me.

Fabulous Breakfast and Excellent Location

wide array english vibe whimsical decor
I wished I could have stayed longer than three nights. The breakfast was TOP notch with a wide array of everything!!! The croissants were warm and flaky. The hotel lobby has a distinct English vibe without being stuffy. The decor throughout is whimsical yet pays homage to the city and its past.
I experienced a minor issue with my bill upon arrival. I had booked through a third-party site, and there was some initial confusion about included taxes. The staff resolved it, but it required a bit of clarification and time that I hadn't planned for at check-in.
Service

The staff was helpful recommending things to do and places to visit. Staff was helpful explaining how to get around the city. That was amazing. The bartenders are skilled professionals. They appear to have years of training.
