I stayed at the Lancaster Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The accommodations were perfect, and the art collection was a true highlight. The hotel clerk was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name. The bellman and parking staff were extremely helpful, and the room was spotless. I especially enjoyed learning more about the artwork through the QR codes. Unfortunately, the restaurant and bar staff weren't very friendly, but the food was excellent.
