Our a/c was broken and it took five complaints to get it resolved. The tabletops were filthy and didn’t get cleaned after we asked. The room was outdated- think 1992 and across the street from a noisy bar with police calls. Lousy experience!

Disappointing. Not the charming historic place we expected. Terrible service. For example, the morning after we arrived, we opened our curtains and discovered our view was a brick wall. We talked to the front desk clerk and requested a different room. Her response was that her shift ended at 3 and if she had to clean the room it would require her to stay longer. We told her we made our reservation months ago, and it was a special trip for us, but she continued to act like it was an inconvenience to her and refused. Similarly, another desk clerk would not get us a bottle of water (complimentary). Said the shipment had not arrived. He just stared at us. We expressed our frustration and he finally agreed to look in the housekeeping closet, where he miraculously found a few. The "bell man" stationed by the door was there for appearance only. Was on his phone and ignored us or was absent altogether. Finally, the lobby coffee service (the classiest thing there) was gone on our last day. We were told the "shipment had not come in." Staff was not accommodating in the least. Could have offered coffee from the lobby restaurant but did not. We ran two blocks to Starbucks down the street. There are lots of other hotels on or near Carey Street. Wish we had booked one of them.

The hotel was undergoing renovation work but our room had been renovated so was very smart other than a cracked top on the free standing bathroom sink unit (which was odd). Very good position for the city and self parking possible on the street outside if you can find a space.
