We stayed on Christmas Eve, enjoyed dinner in the Hunt Club and live jazz in the
Fireplace Room before going to Midnight Mass at St. James Cathedral, about 2
blocks away.
The room was well maintained, clean and comfortable. It has all the charm, and a
few of the expected shortcomings (smaller rooms, bit noisy) of an older hotel,
but nothing I would call a problem. I did not use the fitness center, but the
hotel does have one, something I could not find listed on their website.
The best part of our stay was the friendly staff. We were looking for a taxi
during the morning checkout rush. In the midst of this very busy scene, one of
the valets (Rob?) took us to the bus station in the hotel car. We also enjoyed
excellent service in the restaurant and lounge. The staff at this hotel are the
reason we would return.

Took my husband here for "date night" and had a very nice, romantic stay at this
historic hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful! The staff members were friendly
and efficient. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and charming. Our
favorite was the fireside room! If you choose to stay at this hotel, you will
not be disappointed.

My husband and I chose to spend our anniversary at The Sorrento Hotel in
December. His company had arranged for dinner in the Hunt Club restaurant at the
hotel so he thought it would be lovely to spend the night at the hotel. We had
stayed there two years prior and remembered it as having a warm and lovely
ambiance. Our room was comfortable and well-designed. We were greeted with a
small bottle of wine, salted chocolate caramels (yummy) and a lovely note
congratulating us on our anniversary. The coffee was delicious - prepared with a
coffee press with detailed instructions provided. Only two "flies in the
ointment": the room was too warm and I could not find a way to turn down the
heat (in the middle of the night and not thinking clearly to phone the front
desk). Also my husband had booked the room one month ahead and we found out
later that other members of our party who stayed the night as well, paid less
for their package and were upgraded upon arrival. The hotel's response to this
was to say that we got what we paid for and that it is their discretion to chose
to upgrade upon arrival. My husband had also requested a corner room (we didn't
get one), but another member of our party received one and they arrived after us
and had not requested one. Hard to understand how hotels work. However, I would
return for another visit.

This is a true find in any city! The service is exceptional. Talk about a five
star performance! It is a true boutique hotel! It is comfortable and historic.
What a great place....and it is a return trip for us.

Pros: everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, from the valet to the
concierge. The rooms were clean, bed was very comfortable with wonderful, soft
sheets. Nice toiletries. The lounge downstairs is beautiful, with a fireplace
and comfy chairs. Breakfast was delicious (especially the smoked salmon eggs
benedict). The hotel provides a car service, which is really nice, and the
concierge booked us dinner reservations when we asked for a recommendation-it
turned out to be exactly what we wanted.
Cons: the hotel is a bit of a walk from downtown, 15 minutes downhill, 30
uphill, but if you're relatively in shape it's not a problem! |
