Check in went smoothly, and the front desk staff helpfully arranged for a cab to the airport following checkout. (Though we wish they had told us it was cash-only.)
We appreciated that the room decor was unique and not cookie-cutter.
Several items in the George Heidweiller room needed maintenance. The armoire was shimmed with folded cardboard, and the door did not fully shut. The bathroom mirror had large chips on one corner. The soap dish broken. One of the headboard sconces didn't work.
The elegant high ceilings made the small room feel less cramped. Having been the victim of pickpockets earlier in our trip, we were very disappointed that the room had no safe.
The air conditioning was not up to the weather conditions, and we were uncomfortably warm. The front desk staff had warned us that opening the door to the balcony would shut off the air conditioning. Though we would not have used it anyway, because it was quite small and thisclose to the building next store, offering no privacy. The tiny bedside tables barely contained the lamps on them, so they could not accommodate anything else.
We appreciated the refrigerator, but the small kitchenette was baffling. There was a dish drainer atop what we assumed to be a stove. There were some pots and dishes, but nothing with which to wash them.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious, making us regret that we had dined elsewhere for dinner.
Overall, we did not consider this hotel to be a good value.
