Serious structural issues with the lower parking garage with large cracks in the concrete. I touched one of those cracks with my hand and a golf ball sized piece of concrete came out and hit my car (no damage). My room was at the end of the hallway and I did not have warm water one morning for a shower after I tried running the show for over 5 minutes. On weekends, the lobby gets really loud and crowded as it has a popular bar there. Parking is a problem at times. I rented a royal room hoping that it would be as good as the photos shown, but it seemed to be lacking furnishings. I am on the fence if I would stay here again.

Recommend the Cheshire
The Cheshire is a funky hotel filled with literary and historic items. Rooms are named after famous authors such as John Milton and Orwell. Room was comfortable. Location was excellent just one block from the Park..you could walk to the zoo. Breakfast was really good..much better than the typical hotel fare.

This hotel is absolutely one of my favorites I’ve ever been in, from the interesting decor, chess sets left on tables( a life size one to play in the garden), spot on service, fantastic breakfast, and pub full of intrigue you never want to leave.

They canceled us at the last minute
We were bumped from our room, but the person at the desk did not admit that and in doing so cost my family a great deal of time and confusion. The hotel we were moved to was kind enough to explain what had happened, but the Cheshire insisted they had no reservation and didn’t know what happened. Traveling with two children for a reservation made five months in advance!

Breakfast worth it!
OMG this hotel is worth staying in for the FREE breakfast! A dozen fresh pastry choices, fresh fruits, even blueberries, raspberries, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, about ten kinds of tea bags even. Multiple milks, juices too! Add in a comfy bed in a hotel that’s like an art gallery and you can’t go wrong.

Super comfortable beds and pillows. Delicious breakfast with lots of fruits and berries. The only thing I didn’t like was the bathroom light. It turns on automatically when you need to use the bathroom at night, and doesn’t turn off for an eternity:) keeps you awake
