The hotel was stunning and our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed cocktails and snacks at the hotel's speakeasy-style bar, brunch at the main restaurant, and dinner at the oyster bar. Everything we ordered was excellent. We also enjoyed fantastic massages at the spa. Overall, a 10/10 experience -- I would gladly stay here again.

Came to go on a cruise for a one night stay- it was great spot to be close to everything but unfortunately did not have a shuttle to the hotel or the cruise terminal and Ubers and Lyfts in the area are very pricey. They do have a heated pool inside which is definitely a nice touch, and the staff were super friendly. Very historic feel and the rooms could use some updated deep cleans but overall was a good stay

my stay was beyond superb. I worked from the library in the lobby for the afternoon, and was offered an amazing upgrade to a corner room with a view- stunning. The wine and spirit selection were tip tier, The Founders Club was swanky and such a fun experience, fresh seafood at Shuckers was delicious, and the steak i ordered for room service was to die for. Such an amazing retreat in the city!

Breakfast was weak and overpriced, 2 separate mini-buffets that you have to pay for separately. Food wasnt even good/worth the money either. We ate at the restaurant once and skipped it for the rest of our stay. The pool and Jacuzzi were nice. The room had a clogged sink and average room amenities/bedding/etc. The lobby and bar were great and the architecture of the hotel was nice. Staff were kind and helpful.
