Service at the Kimpton was excellent the staff could not have been more welcoming and nice. The evening happy hours was very nice. The rooms are VERY small, and not set up for female guests. Only large floor length mirror in the hallway. No outlets in the bathroom for a hairdryer or near a mirror in the bedroom. Figuring out what light switch was needed to turn on a light or a plug. The breakfast was not included and not very good after paying 30 pounds.
