3/5 Comfortable stay, but a few issues

My stay at the Kimpton Hotel was okay overall. The room was clean and the hotel had a nice boutique vibe, which I appreciated. The bed was comfortable, and the space felt welcoming and large. That said, there were a few issues that took away from the experience. The TV wouldn’t connect to smart devices, which made it hard to stream anything. I also asked about a place to warm up food and was told a microwave would be brought to the room but it never came. When I followed up, I was told there were none available. Lastly, the shower had a serious leak that left water all over the bathroom floor every day. Aside from these problems, the stay was decent. I think with a few fixes to the amenities and communication, the experience could have been much better.

I can't say how much I enjoyed this property from pulling up and being greeted by the valet. Moe the valet was very inviting and welcoming to the property and was all hands in helping with my baggage as I had my dog with me as well. Dogs stay free with no charges, the bar dining area had live jazz and they have many specials during the week. You can't go wrong on staying here at Hotel Fontenot.
