    I think on Uber its not clear which entrance to drop you off at, but once you figure it out, then its super easy. Everything else, I really liked

    The hotel is well located and close to many restaurants and coffee shops. Loved the staff and the accomodations. It was super easy to get to and from the hotel and the recommendations the hotel made were amazing

    No drawer space in the room. Unexpected destination fees on check out. It was explained that these fees contributed to the extra services (10% off Fairgrounds, the complimentary welcome drink)??

    Beautiful room and hotel - Loved the history and character. Staff very friendly. Excellent location.

    Too many people from outside ( not guests,) inside the hotel for the rooftop bar, game room etc-often very crowded. Room nothing like what was depicted on Booking.com-one window, very dark room, no view or light. Bathroom not particularly well designed-the bathtub very high and hard to get in and out of, slippery when taking a shower-nearly fell, shower controls did not work easily. toilet very close to the swing of the door, not enough hooks or places to put things while changing/ showering.... Night concierge not particularly well informed or able to give restaurant recommendations ( he googled restaurants and did not even know that the price range given for the restaurant was not an entry charge. Not a good value for the amount being charged for the stay. It would be better to stay somewhere else and come here for a drink.

    Amazing building, the public spaces are fantastic-beautifully maintained historic qualities. Great location

    Only thing- there seemed to be a discrepancy from what the front desk explained regarding the complementary drink voucher vs the bar staff at Cherry Circle Room. I had understood it was redeemable at either bar, however bar staff said it was for the other bar, but would still honor it there.

    I always love this hotel. The atmosphere of the study is unmatched, the Cherry Circle Room feels like a hidden gem- and probably one of my favorite spots in the city.

    I wish there had been a door between the living space and bedroom of the suite. Then we could have had a little private space time in that large beautiful space!

    Our suite was stunning! Loved how large it was. It was our second time staying here and we loved it! The lobby room is also stunning! It was wonderful to sit there and do some computer work while I was staying there.
