I had a lovely two-night stay at this hotel, where I enjoyed a comfortable and quiet room. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the breakfast was delicious, especially in the cozy atrium. However, be cautious if you're considering a room facing the street as the noise can be disruptive at night, and the bathroom sink was somewhat small.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Kimpton Hotel. The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the rooms are comfortably designed. The dining experience at Baba was a highlight, although I would have loved to try more from the menu. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay with great amenities, but I wish the pool area was a bit larger considering its popularity.

My recent stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful! The renovation has truly transformed the place, blending the charm of the old Georgian townhouses with modern comforts. The rooms were spacious and so comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. Breakfast was fantastic with choices that were both delicious and satisfying. However, I did have an issue with room service, but the staff handled it elegantly. Overall, a great experience worth revisiting.

The hotel has some charming qualities, like a warm atmosphere and helpful staff who genuinely care about guests. However, the dining experience fell short due to slow service and issues with breakfast orders. The room I stayed in was comfortable and nicely decorated, but despite the admirable traits, I felt that the overall experience could use improvement, particularly with the breakfast service.
