There is a nice safe reasonably priced parking garage less than a block down the street from the main entrance. The staff will not tell you this because they are pushing they're Valet parking which is not on site and expensive.

I was there on a snowy day and the floors in my room were sopping wet and smelled mildewy. The bedding they gave us for the pull out was just a set of sheets. The valet parking sign said “full” although it wasn’t.

Overall, it’s pretty good. Their price is much cheaper than surrounding hotels. People are nice, crib for kids are free. Every day, the room is cleaned. I recommend it.

Building infrastructure is dated. Low water pressure, A/C in rooms can not be controlled by guests, building needs a refresh.

The hotel was great overall! It had the perfect location, within walking distance to everything, and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff was nice overall too. However, during the check-out on Sunday, April 28th at 5 am, the overnight GSA was very unpleasant. She didn't make eye contact nor say "Good morning" or "How was your stay?". She just said that we were all set. While waiting for our Uber, a gentleman was departing as well and he had some challenges opening the door to exit, so I mentioned it to her since she didn't have a clear view of the door from where the front desk is located. She continued to type on the computer station and after waiting for a few seconds she asked me if he had figured it out. I told her no, to which she whispered "That's unfortunate". This was our last impression of the hotel. Anyway, there are a couple of things that I would like to bring to your attention regarding our room 1873: one ceiling light over the headboard was out, the lampshade needs to be replaced (it couldn't stay straight), and the bathroom ceiling paint was starting to peel off. None of which was a big deal for us, but you may want to address it before your next guest. Lastly, when emailing your guests, create a template for the team instead of sending a blank email with an attachment it would give a better impression. We love IHG so we hope you find this constructive.

Our hotel did not have any hot water, we called the front desk and there was a whole process that included turning the tap on for 2 minutes then flushing the toilet and holding it down for 15 seconds just to maybe get warm water which was kind of ridiculous. We complained and got a new room but I’ve never heard anything like this before.

Valet staff are wonderful and accommodating. Hotel staff are pleasant as well and know the quirks or this old building. We had no hot water to our room but the staff tried to repair the issue and ultimately the key to getting hot water was to turn the shower on, the sink on, and flush the toilet repeatedly until hot water got to our room. Didn’t last an entire shower length so ended up showering in cold water. Offered a different room but were afraid of different issues as I was only hearing complaints from many guests. Never offered an upgrade. Would not stay here again and should have probably moved to another hotel but the staff we very nice.

Good value for your money. Only bad thing is Hotel Management. There was no water for a day and I was asked to go buy water at the market around the block. Also management was not friendly, I was a bit late for checkout and got charged for an extra night because the lady said the cleaning staff was already out and that I should know I cannot be late, not very customer obsessed.

If you have a vehicle, valet is the only option aside from paying for public parking away from the property. Neither is cheap but the public parking is the better deal. Room and amenities were nice but the Carpets in the room were stained. Front desk staff could be a little more professional. Felt more like walking into a yogurt shop than a hotel. Breakfast was great and so was the staff serving it.

We checked in 3/12, the woman that works night shift was really rude. She barely said a word to us but kept sighing when I spoke, rolled her eyes, put her head in her hands multiple times and made it really obvious what an inconvenience we were. My husband and I both thanked her, she said nothing and was actually mumbling under her breath as we walked away. I have never felt more unwelcome somewhere ever and actually considered switching hotels that day even after paying them a couple hundred dollars to be there. My husband and I were so excited to be there and she completely threw us off and started off our trip really negatively, we avoided her the rest of our stay.

This is actually my second time staying in this property. In 2019 I gave this hotel the best possible review. Unfortunately the hotel has made some changes since then which are not for the best. The room I stayed in was a suite. The big massive gripe I have is the bathroom; in particular the shower. The shower head has no facility to hold itself up and point in the right direction (at the floor) meaning that you have to hold the shower head and keep turning it on/off. On top of this nothing catches the water so it goes all over the floor creating a massive slip hazard and very damp towels. It really made showering an excruciating process and I dreaded every morning having to use it. Breakfast is also very limited and room service seems to consist of just making the bed. I don't believe any major cleaning went on the entire time I stayed there. They were better 5 years ago. What's gone wrong? It's unfortunate because otherwise this is a really nice hotel in a great location with really nice staff, but they should sue whoever designed this horrendous bathroom.
