Incredibly warm staff, with extra kudos to Bob (from Boston). Some holiday extra touches like a Christmas Eve visit from Santa, fresh cookies and milk, and a movie night with snacks of It’s a Wonderful Life, made this the perfect Christmas place to stay. Thank you!

Excellent hotel! Very well maintained and serviced with all the "little things" that used to be standard at a premier property. Comp water, turn down chocolates, weather report, paper and pens at the writing desk and the room was completely serviced each day. The room was large and well appointed. The concierge/desk was very friendly and helpful and the hotel generally had a peaceful elegant air about it. There was a complimentary wine and cheese hour each evening and milk and cookies before bedtime. The location is perfect for exploring the city and adjacent to some fantastic restaurants.
