It was AMAZING. Kimpton properties always are. This property was exceptional. We were upgraded to a suite on the top floor corner upon arrival because of our loyalty. The staff exceeded our expectations. The room was PERFECT. The restaurants superb. I can not say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay ... and we were walking distance to almost everything.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I definitely liked the "vibe" , ambiance and decor of the hotel. However, there was issue with the water
temperature. This morning while taking a
shower my husband and I noticed the water
was Not hot and never got hot at all.
Therefore, we had to take a cool, cold
shower which was not very pleasant.
I wanted to call to front desk to report
the water issue but due to us having
to catch a early flight, I didn't have time.
Other than this complaint, the stay
would have been great.
I really enjoyed chatting with Raye. She was very helpful and friendly. My room was very clean and smelled nice. The beds are perfect! Hotel location was in good walking distance from Canal St. Enjoyed my stay!
My stay at the Kimpton Hotel was okay overall. The room was clean and the hotel had a nice boutique vibe, which I appreciated. The bed was comfortable, and the space felt welcoming and large.
That said, there were a few issues that took away from the experience. The TV wouldn’t connect to smart devices, which made it hard to stream anything. I also asked about a place to warm up food and was told a microwave would be brought to the room but it never came. When I followed up, I was told there were none available. Lastly, the shower had a serious leak that left water all over the bathroom floor every day.
Aside from these problems, the stay was decent. I think with a few fixes to the amenities and communication, the experience could have been much better.
