Location, beds were comfortable, beautiful hotel, valet, spacious rooms, decor, quiet, great views, allowed early check in

Unsolicited charges for mini-fridge items that were not taken, was told at time of booking a month prior as well as at check in that I had late check out but 20 minutes prior to original check out time of 11am, was told it was no longer available because they were fully booked & I would have to pay a fee for more time.

It was clean and the valet service was good. The apple cider and coffee in the lobby was a nice touch. The location is excellent. I recommend getting a room with a river view.

For a luxury hotel, there are literally no bells and whistles. And the front desk service is mid. We were there for a milestone anniversary, and it was not acknowledged.
