i stayed in the beautiful king room. it had two separate sinks, which helped a lot. the room included a rainfall shower. i appreciated the complimentary toiletries provided. there were bathrobes available for use.
the Street outside was a little noisy. traffic sounds were somewhat loud. i would have liked quieter windows.

Decent Stay at Boutique Hotel

friendly staff early check-in inconsistent service service charge
I appreciated the warm welcome I received with a glass of champagne. I checked in slightly early , and they accommodated me. The staff were very friendly and helpful , particularly at breakfast.
The service felt inconsistent at times. There were moments when the service was good , but other times it had deficits. A sudden 5% service charge on the room rate was on the final bill , which seemed like a tourist ambush.

the receptionist did not mention the check out time. i was also not told i needed to use the bedroom key fob in the lift. this caused me problems when i tried to return to my room later that evening.
