My room had dirty carpets and debris from the last occupants, and the jacuzzi was dirty. I also found a daily incidental charge of $50 to my credit card with no itemized billing to explain what the charges were for. The price is insane for how run down this place is.

This hotel is beautiful, but a litte dirty in the room, the sitting chair was filthy as well as the carpet, even as old as the hotel is, those things can remain clean and updated. The roof top bar was gorgeous but the music choice was extremely loud, like being in a dance club, we all left and went somewhere else, Not relaxing at all.

The check-in staff were not friendly and when we only got one towel the second night we called and they said we had to come down and get it? The room was spacious and could have been a king bed, bed was hard. Property was nice but the breakfast was not at the hotel but was $15 each to Starbucks attached. The Irish pub, rooftop bar and location are all reasons to stay here but no hot tub or pool there are better values in town.

It has so much potential to be authentic to the area. BUT the lobby area was quite worn looking. Front door had leaves etc. when we arrived at night - We came down in morning and mess was still there. I was certainly expecting more from a Bonvoy. Drinking glasses were left at the elevator openings and still there when we left 2 days later. The bathroom needed a good scrub ! The 2 places to eat were loud - and had strange hours for dining. The good parts: rooms were quiet and beds fabulous. There was a hugh Starbucks that was entered from the lobby which was wonderful. My suggestions: ! get a good cleaning staff and 2 a manager that takes pride in how things look!
