Summary: We had a nice stay at this Sofitel. Wish our bed was a little firmer ( of course that’s a personal preference) and for some odd reason we did not have a top sheet. Slept directly under the comforter. Otherwise, the room was very nice and the staff was great!
Dennis Sep 1, 2025 07:20:02 PM
Summary: Very poor, overpriced breakfast-coffee cold-two mornings-same thing-took 10 minutes after seated to get attention, took 15 minutes after we finished eating to get a check. $101.24 for two eggs Benedict, coffee, one order of pancakes…

Summary: Love the hotel and proximity to everything-I was just thinking they have their AC on way too high. It’s hard to eat and drink when it’s so cold in the bar and restaurant. Lovely place and the staff is all so very welcoming and friendly!!!! We have stayed there multiple times and will be back.

Summary: Probably the most comfortable bed and pillows I have ever experienced at any hotel.
Rene Jun 17, 2025 07:12:57 AM
Summary: Shower leaked water all over the floor. Our room wasn't clean. Ice machine on multiple floors did not work. Only three outlets in the entire room worked. I asked them to fix it and they said they would send someone. Nobody came in the four day stay. Our view was a back alley with apartment windows so we couldn't open the blinds ever. For the cost of our stay I expect something worthy of such cost. Very disappointed.
