Got back late from dance competition. Called front desk to get more towels and body wash, and I had to go downstairs to get it. Seemed like they were very short staffed. Wouldn’t answer the phone either.

Grand hotel
Beautiful grand hotel with friendly staff. Disconcerting to see housekeepers in black and white old fashion maid uniforms. In fact it looks demeaning, the other staff members were dressed in suits and modern uniforms

Beautiful property, freshly remodeled in elegant hipster style, very clean and comfortable. Check in staff all mediocre, distracted, grudging. One told me street parking meters started at 6am, which just seems unlikely. Wrong. 2nd desk person tole me 7, also wrong. Starts at 8am, as goes with common sense. Wrong information, conveyed rudely.

The Admiral was one of the best top tier hotel we have stayed. The decor was exceptional! The staff was excellent. I would definitely stay there again. I wish i could have stayed a little longer to enjoy the Le Monye , Living Room and the Le Cafe.

We were turned away because my wife was wearing shorts. It was over 80 degrees that day. If you stay here and want to eat at their restaurant, you better dress like you’re going to prom.

The bed was so lumpy that it completely ruined my stay. Unable to get a good nights sleep. One outlet was so loose from the wall that it was dangerous.
