Upon checking in, we received a less than warm welcome from the front desk staff (a tall brunette with an accent). She appeared as if she didn’t want to be there, did not smile at all when greeting us, and gave off a snobbish attitude while very matter-of-factly reciting the specifics of our stay as though we worked for her. Nonetheless, that unpleasant experience was outshined by Garnett’s (the doorman) five-star customer service-he took our bags without us having to ask and offered us two glasses of champagne which he promptly brought to the front desk with a smile (perhaps he should work the front desk). He also brought our bags up to the room, placed our belongings where we wanted, and offered to give us several locations to visit around town. The bathroom was small as many others have mentioned, but fit the amazing decor of this hotel which is brimming with character and has amazing original detail in the architecture. Everything being within walking distance is a plus. The room would have been perfectly clean had there not been an unknown liquid splashed across the wall that had stained the baseboards and carpet. This would have been a five-star experience had the front desk and cleanliness of the room met those standards.

Beautiful hotel
This is a wonderful hotel - absolutely beautiful. The staff are all very kind. The only thing that was a bit lacking was the service at the bar and Riggs Cafe. I’m not sure if they were just short staffed, but every time we were there, the service took a long time and was sporadic.

Overall the hotel is good, clean, nice staff and professional service. However I wouldn't recommend for family with young children. The cafe downstairs is noisy, people there get drunk during the night time.

The entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The planning of the room didn’t take into account the temporary storage of any items in the suitcase, except hanging clothes. The closet was plenty large. There were no drawers to temporarily put socks or underwear, etc. (Except 2 tiny drawers in the bedside stands) The in-house bar was exceptional, and the in-house dining was good.

Quiet, clean, nice staff except the guy outside hotel at the entry. My husband got our car from the nearby garage and wanted to park in front to pickup me and our daughter plus luggages that nobody help us carry. Well this guy said 1st no, you can't park here, then after he told him he has to pick us up he said he shoud park further from the entry. He wouldn't have block the entry and he would have parked as everybody else did. Such a bad experience. I dont think that reflex the hotel that has so many positives. Like we had an excellent experience at the Caffè. There was an extremely nice girl serving us at the bar. And she did delicious non alcoholic cocktails for me and my daughter and felt welcomed.
