The hotel is beautiful- the woodwork details in our room and the tile were lovely! A major inconvenience in the rooms is the lack of shelving... nowhere more than a ledge to to set any luggage and the bathroom has nowhere to set toiletry bag/hot tools/clothes for after your shower (there isn't even enough sink vanity top to utilize). The food from Mulberry Street Tavern was delicious, but the service was shockingly slow and inattentive. We had similarly odd experiences with the hotel staff. It almost seemed like they were reading from a script, and not actually hearing or responding to what we were saying. You could almost watch their attention drift off mid-conversation. It was laughably odd! It was a nice hotel for sure, but an awkward experience overall. We probably wouldn't stay again, all things (including the price) considered.
