Disliked: Amenities
The “premium suite” is TERRIBLE. It is advertised as a king bed but instead is a small queen. There is no ventilation, and none of the windows open, we were coughing and sneezing all night. We ended up canceling and checking out early our second night and they refused to refund us, even with the false advertising and lack of ventilation. I’m sure there is a building code violation there, I will ask the city to look into it.

Room was very nicely appointed, breakfast was paltry and with only about 5 table (around 21 rooms) we had nowhere to sit! I felt duped as the accommodation is nothing like the lovely house depicted, it’s all behind the house featured online and in a rather unsightly block of what look like apartments above parking garages. Parking is horrendous!

The bridal suite is freezing. They should have turned the antique heaters on well before our 7:30 PM arrival. It’s 9:30 and forced to wear overcoats. Thermometer says 58 degrees.
