Omni Parker House

Omni Parker House

8/10 Good
"I am under the impression that this is quiet possibly one of the finest hotels in all of America, being that it is the oldest, the staff are incredibly attentive and helpful, the facilities are clean, and the food is delicious! My only minor comment would by that of the bathroom sinks absurdly close relationship with the toilet. There is no way to sit on that toilet without feeling uncomfortable because there is no space to the right of the toilet for a human body to comfortably sit."
