Liked: Cleanliness
My stay at The Read House was overall okay, but there were several issues that made it uncomfortable. There were many ladybugs in my room near the window. They did spray after I reported it, but the ladybugs were still present, and no one followed up with me after my initial complaint.
Additionally, shortly after I arrived in my room, someone entered without knocking. I reported this to the front desk, but nothing was done. It made me very uncomfortable, as I could have been changing or undressed at the time.
I was also approached in the lobby by someone who appeared to be homeless and asked me to buy them coffee. I was surprised they were able to access the lobby, as it made the environment feel less secure.
Overall, these situations made my stay less comfortable than expected.
David at the front desk was incredible had alot of knowledge about the area and was very friendly!
Staff are amazing and accommodating. Room was beautiful… the entire property is astounding

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms were great and clean. I was expecting to stay in a historic hotel and to go from the lobby up to our rooms and the elevator doors open and its teal and bright didnt match with the rest of the hotel and threw off the vibe. I was very disappointed about not being told i wouldnt be in the historic part of the hotel. We were celebrating our anniversary and my birthday
The hotel staff was very accommodating on all fronts, and always had water available. The room was clean and well set up, the hvac was quiet and effective, and the bed was comfortable. Only negative was that the peloton bike in the gym had not been maintained, the screen did not turn on and the bike was rusty … maybe not important to many visitors but a peloton is something I look for when booking.
The staff were exemplary! Welcoming, willing to do what was necessary to make your stay memorable. Suggestions for dining from the front desk were on point. Valets were most accomodating! You have a great staff.
