1. My only complaint was that the heat/ac was fairly dated and it was somewhat difficult to change the temp.

2. The bathroom towels were not quite as soft but I recognize that is rather difficult to do in a hotel setting.

3. We were going to Kneehigh Stocking company, which is a speakeasy-type place and purposefully difficult to find.

8. Some of the corner rooms have great views of the river but even the other have very nice views of the surroundings- Magical atmosphere: no matter how difficult the day was, the hotel staff creates a great atmosphere.

9. The only significant difference in service here was being addressed by name, which in my case is actually mildly annoying since I have a difficult to pronounce name and then have to confirm that they got the pronunciation right.
