    Some of the downside in my personal experience was that you have to request things to be brought up to your room, meaning extra blankets or robes (that are typically already in the room) and food delivery. There is no room service during the week… at all. That really surprised me. I didn’t love having to order out and then coming downstairs to fetch it when the whole point was to avoid social interaction / privacy. The room that I stayed in the tower seemed a bit dated. And the water pressure is okay, the temperature takes a while to warm up. Definitely a good 4/5 in my experience but I imagine others would definitely give a 5/5. Thank you Read House.

    There’s a lot of allure to the Read House. When researching where to stay for a business trip, the photos online stand out and I was curious to explore this hotel. They have a beautiful lobby, ball rooms and hallways. My room was very spacious and quiet. The parking valet was quick and convenient. That being said, I want to end this on a good note. The restaurant is very nice and classy. Alan, the bartender is a wonder of the world. He was full of great stories and service. Coming here to see him makes it all worth it. It was nice to have a warm pool as an option and an operating gym in a historic hotel, which isn’t common. Definitely a good 4/5 in my experience but I imagine others would definitely give a 5/5. Thank you Read House.

    There wasn't a doorman on this particular day, and the front doors are a bit heavy and hard to manage with luggage.

    The service from the desk and room service was perfect, and the hotel and room were gorgeous! I particularly loved the upgrade on our room to the tower!

    Wasn’t big fan of strong smell of chloride and the first room I peaked the bathroom, wasn’t good at all or updated, but then they change me to the historical floor, which was much better than absent big fan of mattress or pillow quality

    See above.

    The hotel is gorgeous and we loved both the facilities and the location downtown. A draw when booking is the indoor heated pool advertised, however, it’s not very warm and much in need of a renovation. Compared to the lovely common spaces in this grand building, the pool area is quite shabby. All in all, we were pleased and will be back.

    The rooms were nice but the bathroom could use updating for the price point. Also the vents in the pool area were dirty. The elevator was shaky and a little scary. Such a nice hotel to not pay attention to those type of details.

    The history of the property was nice and the staff was amazing. The decor was amazing.
