The Architect

Location: Frequently praised as convenient, close to tourist attractions, and well-connected.(based on 2 reviews)

I read the reviews before booking, but this hotel was so convenient to the event I was attending, I decided to take a chance. And boy was I glad I did! I was greeted warmly upon arrival and my request for early check-in (by several hours!) so that I could freshen up after my flight and before my meeting was graciously accommodated, which was very much appreciated. This despite the room they had originally reserved for me not yet being ready; they moved me to a 9th (top) floor room, which even though it had a view of the next building's wall out the window was both spacious and scrupulously clean. I was very happy with the substitution and the kind way that it was offered. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. As other reviewers have noted, the hotel is an historic building, so it is quirky and cool, with small, twisty hallways - - all which added to the charm. I noticed no odd smells, the room and bedding was immaculate, and the shower was THE BEST - - even though on the top floor, pressure was tremendous with plenty of hot water. I would DEFINITELY stay here again, without hesitation. (Oh, and by the way, I LOVED the "flat" pillows - -there were plenty of them on the bed, they were new and were MUCH easier to sleep on than unrealistically puffy and fluffy pillows!)
