A work in progress is what I will give this hotel.
The entrance to the hotel is pretty low key and could benefit from a little attention to "curb appeal". Delivery vehicles are allowed to part in front of the hotel's front doors which made it difficult for this guest to figure out where the entrance was. (I understand that delivery vehicles need to park "somewhere", but there was nothing outside the doors to suggest it was a hotel entrance. ) When I arrived there were TWO of trucks parked and obscuring the entrance. It did not take long to figure it out, but I do not think it should have been a question.
The staff could not be friendlier. Some are still getting familiar with the details of the hotel . (to them, I would say, there is not shame in excusing yourself and getting the answer from your manager! ) . They were beyond hospitable and accommodating. They were very generous and gave me a very early check-in , which made this weary traveler very happy; I had been up since 2:30am. So a big THANK YOU , to the staff.
Rooms are tasteful. and mine was done in a vintage harvest gold color. Soothing and warm.
My view was unbelievable. I could not believe my good fortune! I can not wait to see it at night! Thank you!
My room is furnished with two queens , a desk , a mini frig , a single cup coffee/tea bar, and a big tv. (I do not watch tv, but this one is a size that matches the size of the room )
The desk is an excellent size for working. The number of outlets built into the desk and the outlets near the beds are adequate. I still marvel that hotels offer bedside clocks. Maybe it is just me, but I always unplug the clock to make sure I have outlets for my personal beside stuff; my tablet and my phone (which is also my clock). I feel bad because I know someone is going to have to reset the clock.
I do not usually expect much from hotel room coffee and tea, but "Rituals" tea was exceptionally bad. I was so looking forward to a cup of tea in my room on this wintry day, but not with this particular tea. I do not expect a lot for my two free tea bags, but it sure would be worth a bit more for decent cup of tea. Usually I travel with my own tea bags, but with today's EARLY departure , I forgot.
I do have high hopes for this hotel because their staff is very enthusiastic and if they are given latitude, they will make this place a four star hotel. (or maybe even 5 :) Location Location Location; this place has a great location .
I will be back.
