From start to finish, from top to bottom, an exceptional stay. The staff was incredibly helpful and nice: we arrived early, but they gave us a great corner room overlooking State Street, and when they found out, it was my birthday, they sent up a little bottle of wine and some chocolates. The rooms look like they were recently renovated from the last time we were there, and ours was incredibly charming with lots of interesting and unique touches. Really blown away by how great our stay was.
