    I was initially allocated a room at the front of the hotel. The road noise was so loud I hardly slept a wink the first night, even with ear plugs. Thankfully, I switched to a room at the back which was so much better.

    Great location for what I needed. Really friendly staff.

    Cleaning was really poor. They did not respond in a timely fashion to messages through booking.com, in fact they responded to one after may stay concluded sent a fortnight before the stay. Inclusive breakfast is misleading, it only covers two people, even though the booking was a “kids stay free”, meaning there were three people on the booking.

    Location. Really good size rooms with a fridge. Inclusive breakfast is nice to find, but not much choice. Wine hour 5-6 and free coffee in the mornings are a lovely touch.

    see above regarding a few small room issues.

    Restaurant and restaurant staff were exceptional. Loved the late afternoon wine bar, which was conducive to eating dinner in Le Sel, an excellent restaurant. Room was great, although somewhat "over designed" for example, you needed to get out of bed to turn off the bedside lamp at the master switch by the door, and there was a small side chair that was horribly uncomfortable, although it looked nice. Loved the Amelie toiletries, as always.

    The woman working at recoption was obviously overworked and maybe very tired. She had an unwelcoming attitude. There were potato chips underneath my bedside table that I found when I moved the table to plug in my charger. No trash can in the bathroom, which was odd. When I brought this to the attention of the woman at the front desk she just stared at me and asked if I had requested a trashcan be brought up (I didn't realize this was a special request) Valet parking was over $60.00 a night with tax. Ridiculous. Also, no mention anywhere of how much it was beforehand.

    Most of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were great.

    The elevators are small and slow. which made uber timing a bit difficult some times on a busy weekend like the one I visited on- especially from the 10th floor

    Not the standard 'free breakfast'. Had great breakfast options, including escargot and fresh crab Benedict.

    The water pressure in the bathroom was weak and there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom. The final bill was surprising because of the exorbitant taxes. Parking isn't $55 a night, it's $65 with the tax. And the room is taxed at almost 15% more than given.

    Lovely hotel with a friendly, helpful staff. The location is within walking distance to many restaurants and also has its own.

    The staff was v unprofessional. There was one person at the front desk doing everything. Some valet workers were great, others were awful. $5 for a bottle of water after already spending $500 for 2 night… kind of a rip off.

    Beautiful rooms, parking right under hotel (paid $68/day though), big TV’s, close proximity to the White House.
