    Amazing. This hotel is such a gem.

    The ice machine was in a different tower, which was wildly inconvenient. Staff did bring us ice, so that was great. And there was no iron or ironing board, which never happens in a room, but again the staff brought it to us. So no complaints.

    The decor and ambiance of the hotel was amazing. Our room was immaculate. The staff were friendly and always helpful, answering questions and providing recommendations for attractions, restaurants etc. We will absolutely stay here again. We plan to come back each year for our anniversary.

    The perfect hotel for a weekend getaway with a pet

    • Essential King Room

    Again, if traveling with a pet, just note that the lobby/valet area can be quite busy at times, so might be a bit chaotic when trying to check in and out. Otherwise no real issues with this hotel, I would stay here again.

    This hotel was perfect for a weekend getaway, very close to the quarter but far enough to not be in the hustle and bustle of it all. They are a pet friendly hotel which was very important to me being that i was taking my pet with me. I felt the hotel was safe and secure enough to leave my pet in the room when i needed to. The room was spacious and very comfortable.

    Beautiful hotel! Modern, chic, quirky, clean, comfortable, roomy. Location was good too...not too close to everything so it was nice and quite, but close enough to walk to most attractions. Restaurant and bar areas were also lovely.

    Parking was not onsite and was a bit sketchy. We did self park but valet would have parked at the same location.

    I liked the hotel, our room was great. Very nice. I liked the social hour. It’s a great perk for staying at Kimpton. The location was also pretty close to everything we wanted to do. And the staff were friendly and attentive. They were able to apply the stay to my Honors membership even though I did not book directly with them
