Good but With Some Issues
convenient location friendly staff excellent service high price poor layout dirty wardrobe
The location is very convenient. The hotel is close to many attractions. The staff assisted with taxi arrangements. Our daughters received a birthday surprise. This was thoughtful.
The price seemed high because of the marathon , even though I had no interest in it. The room layout seemed poorly designed. I noticed the wardrobe had some dirt on top.

warm welcome convenient location noisy bar extra charges
The staff offered me an warm welcome. The room was very clean upon my arrival, which i APPRECIATED. The location is very convenient. IT is close to restaurants, shopping and business locations.
The bar was noisy. I THINK i was charged for a local call which seemed unnecessary. i would ask to see your receipt to check for any extra charges.

superb stay in prime location
elegant building well trained staff
I enjoyed the elegant building and chic, comfortable rooms. the location offered easy access to major attractions (i loved being so close to everything). i savored a good dinner at wild honey bistro. breakfast each day. the st james bar is a true gem with well trained staff. I especially appreciated the bee's knees cocktails.
i encountered a minor inconvenience. i experienced noise from the housecleaning closet next to my room at times. Requesting a room away from service areas would resolve this issue.
