Amazing location and beautiful design. The K Bar had really good cocktails.
We stayed in a queen room and could barely fit inside. It was literally just a bed and two feet walking room around the bed. The bathroom door could only open half way before it hit the toilet. Very cramped and expensive for what it was.

The room was beautiful, well equipped and comfortable.
Our room was located near the elevator and the housekeeping closet. at times, it could be quite loud

The lobby is picturesque place to relax, and the entire hotel is pristine and elegant. The staff is incredibly kind and go out of their way to help, carrying my luggage and offering me water. If you want to be treated like royalty, then this is a great place to stay.

It’s a beautiful boutique hotel. Location is excellent. The restaurant and gym were both very nice for a boutique hotel. Staff were really nice. Addressed me by my name. Bathroom was small but lovely. The water pressure and shower was spa quality. Highly recommend it.
My room was very nice but the windows overlooked a roof with air conditioners. Rather unpleasant view but I kept the curtains drawn ( curtains were lovely )

We were upgraded to a lovely room which I feel better suited the price we were paying.
Breakfast is very good but very expensive and doesn't give the price option for something small.

The property is well maintained and they certainly take pride in it. The staff is professional and well trained. I especially liked Jonathan, one of the bar tenders. He came to our table after I gave the waitress a complicated drink order. I kidded him to take a seat at our table and join us, and then moved over. He sat down and made the best martini ever. And to my great surprise, he lives about ten minutes from a place we stay in Alicante, Spain.
This is an old hotel that was built in 1910 or so. It has been completely upgraded, but like every old hotel I have ever stayed in like the St. Francis in St. Francis in San Francisco and the Mission Inn in Riverside, and every other one, the HVAC system was lacking. It is hard to get it to do what you want; i.e. the temperature control has a mind of its own; there are buttons that seem to do nothing, etc. But, I could make it hot or cold and sometimes temperate. I suspect they just cannot do anything about it. But to be clear, I would certainly stay there again. One more comment: Everyone was super polite, professional and kind, except for one person who was rude when there was a delay/problem and his behavior was unacceptable. Unfortunately I was that person. I wanted to apologize to the unfortunate person at the switchboard who took my call, but did not know who that was so I give that apology now. My sincerely apologies.

Staff were amazing, room was spotless, location superb for our needs
I felt the room was quite small for the cost of one night - it was a beautiful room but only views of other buildings close by. Perhaps I expected too much
