Liked: The staff was extremely pleasant & helpful. The breakfast was delicious especially the homemade yogurt
Disliked: The carpet in the bedroom had numerous stains & the bathroom trash can had trash in in when we arrived. It would have been nice to go downstairs to famous Bar Louie but due to renovations that was not possible.

If you accept the fact...

Liked: Breakfast not good. Since there was not enough food available for all guests including our group there was not much too likr. Location fine.
Disliked: It would have been good if the chef had been around until the end of breakfast service. Only one pan of egg frigates made - not enough for everyone because the chef left at least an hour before breakfast service was closed. Also no choice of jam for croissants. No regular tea - just green tea. Totally unacceptable for a hotel that was trying to be an upscale hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay...

Liked: The breakfast buffet was exceptionally good. Our room, though small, was very comfortable, We enjoyed sitting in the solarium, and the garden in back was very pleasant.

Superb

Liked: We really liked the bathroom amenities and coffee and tea provided in the rooms. The AppleTV in the room is a nice touch as well. The dinner was great and the breakfast was lovely. I especially liked the homemade yogurt and granola, but everything was good. The hotel is full of original Hudson River School paintings, something you won?t find in many hotels. It seems like the management and staff are really on top of everything and enjoy what they do. It?s a great place to stay.

It was all good.

Liked: It is an historic hotel from 1852 with all the modern conveniences in the room. The bathroom was quite big. The public spaces were comfortable and inviting. The included breakfast was good but not your average fare. No pancakes. No eggs and bacon. No waffles. There was granola, quiche and bagels. Most of the menu is included with the room but a few have an extra charge; extra for bagels was a bit strange. You could get seconds on anything which was very tempting on the mini pastries. The hotel also serves lunch and dinner, again with somewhat exotic menus. It was all very tasty.
Disliked: A bigger room with an easy chair or two.

Passable

Liked: Nice old building
Disliked: Horrible TV service

Beautiful, quaint hotel in downtown...

Liked: A historic hotel beautifully renovated. Loved the charm. French continental breakfast of pastries and homemade yogurt was the perfect start to our day.
Disliked: Room was not ready until 6 pm. Traveling with kids created a slight inconvenience.

We had a great time!

Liked: Perfect location, beautiful historic hotel, continental breakfast was included in the grand dining room.
Disliked: Room could have been bigger but it?s a hotel built in the 1800?s so the ambiance made up for the size.Walking distance to specialty stores, restaurants, art galleries, antique shops?
