The room was so comfortable and clean. Staff at check-in and check-out was kind. Breakfast was fine - better Saturday than Sunday, but it wasn't bad. Our room didn't have hot water, which we brought to the front desk's attention on Saturday morning, but nothing was done about the issue.

Lisa

Liked: Staff & service
Front desk service was terrific, breakfast was great, bourbon bar also fabulous. The building was very unique, and we appreciated the renovation efforts. Our suite was spacious and fairly clean. However- and this is quite serious- maintenance entered our room under non-emergency circumstances without our permission despite the do not disturb sign on our door. There was no advance notice- just a knock (which we ignored, as we were relaxing in the bedroom), then another knock, then two men used a key card & entered our room claiming they needed to look at the mirror in above the vanity. Extremely unsettling. We were sure to secure the extra lock until we checked out the following morning. Hotel management was made aware and an apology was issued.
