The room was spotless, and beautifully decorated.I loved that my room had a double sink in the bathroom, and the bathroom supplies were fuuy stocked for two persons, with extras. The staff was very pleasant, from the valet to front desk. I didn't get to tour the facility as much as I would have loved to, but the bits i were stunning. I hoped to go back very soon. I would give it a 5 stars for the stay, and the overall experience. I will rate the on property restaurants separately.

The Jefferson Hotel is outstanding. But at Christmas time, the food service options for guests are terrible. The lunch service and evening dining service options were not available during our three day stay. Reservations had been fully booked, "for the last six months" and the hotel did not provide guests any other options except purchasing drinks and crackers from the gift shop for lunch and limited seating and a limited menu in the bar for dinner. "A" plus for the hotel; "F" for food service for guests at Christmas time.

The hotel is excellent and we really enjoyed our stay — the service, atmosphere, and overall experience were great. However, there was one point that was disappointing. We were not informed in advance that paying with American Express includes complimentary breakfast. This information was not mentioned on the website during the booking process, so I paid with a different card, although I could have used American Express to have breakfast included. It’s a pity that this is not clearly communicated at the time of booking, as it would help guests make a more informed decision and avoid misunderstandings.
