We often try to stay at Autograph Collection hotels when we travel. I’ve always been impressed with the accommodations, cleanliness and service. The Raphael did not come close to what I’ve come to expect from an Autograph Collection hotel. While the staff was courteous, the accommodations were mediocre and cleanliness was questionable - both in the hotel and in the restaurant. This was especially surprising because The Raphael was one of the more expensive Autograph Collection hotels we’ve visited in the Midwest.

We paid a premium on the day of a World Cup game. The hotel was fine, but not worth $1400 for one night. The gym is small. The carpet is worn. The room cleanliness was fine and the amenities provided in the shower were only fine. For the price I expected a very premium experience and it was just meh. I have had much nicer experiences at other hotels and paid $1000 less per night. Florian at the front desk was great though.
