Room desk had some kind of white grease or lotion all over it. The mirror in the bathroom was covered in dusk. There were only two bath towels for a room of 4. For $300+ a night it really offered nothing except Instagram pics

Both the valet attendant and front lobby concierge were extremely welcoming and helpful getting me settled in and oriented to the hotel’s offerings as well as very knowledgeable about the hotel history and things to do nearby. I was very impressed and appreciate their level of service. I had breakfast at Wild Swann the next morning and the gentleman facilitating breakfast service was equally impressive with top notch service and menu options. I’ll definitely plan a return stay and bring my family along. Thank you!

This is a beautiful hotel with super friendly staff…it would be a ten but I would give it an eight due to windows being drafty and the mattress being a little too firm.
