Nice property but avoid the room service - food is in edible. One of the worst food experience at a hotel. Salad was old and wilted and moving toward being off. The bread on the Club Sandwich was stale and the fries were not freshly cooked. Will not order from the room service ever again.

Not a fussy place. Gym and swimming pool feels a bit dated, everything else was fine. Nothing extraordinary, but overall a good stay.

Old school opulence in the heart of the Capital

A near perfect experience, but the walls are THIN. Room next to us had a rattling closet door or something, kept making noise all night. Other than that, wonderful.
