The staff was absolutely lovely and the property (inside)looks like something in Paris built in another time even though it was built in the 70s . It's gorgeous. It's nice to walk in and hear a harpist. They have a beautiful afternoon tea on the weekends and Bonne Vie is top notch .

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was great. What I found somewhat disturbing, but not a reason to not come back, was that the carpet in the hallways and rooms was dirty or old, the faucets in the bathroom were leaking and the sliding door separating the shower and toilet did not work and could not be closed. Other than that it is a lovely hotel.

8/10 Very good

I really enjoyed the stay literally five out of five stars. Their happy hour was really good. Their gym facility was really good. The only downside was if you’re gonna have an outdoor rooftop gym, cover the equipment at the end of the day and clean it before it opens because all the equipment was filthy, which is normal if it’s gonna be outside but at least clean it the other downside was their Wi-Fi. It wasn’t reaching my room but aside from that, it is a really nice property with wonderful staff

Verified review

6/10 Good

All in all the property was pretty clean the guest service that we received was mediocre. They don't tell you that it's a $55 charge for valet parking not much of an option around there as the proximity to the courthouse a bunch of bail bonds and the homeless population that's around there. The hotel is very nice. Amenities were great just a not great location.
