Location, room layout, bathroom size and cleanliness
Breakfast was included in my hotel booking initially but during checkout it was charged to my bill.

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.
