10/10 Excellent

"Awesome stay. Very clean hotel and the brick is awesome. The staff at the rooftop restaurant were very attentive and the view was amazing!"

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property and centrally located. We only stayed one night as a quick bop over from Maryland. We interacted with 7 staff members total during our brief stay and they were all kind and helpful. We especially enjoyed a short friendly chat with the person that checked us in. We forgot a few items and the front desk person cheerfully helped us. The fresh flowers in the lobby were stunning. Initially I was concerned that they may be a musty smell due to the age of the hotel but to my surprise it was one of the cleanest places I’ve experienced and I am particular. We ordered breakfast for our room and it was as expected. The bar and restaurant were nice although we did not experience them beyond breakfast. The water was nice and hot and the bathroom was clean. The robes were a nice touch. We had a lovely view and the couch in our room did not seem worn which made my day! There were both complimentary wake up and bedtime teas. The air was nice and cold and the only noise we experienced was street noise but no noise from inside the hotel itself. The street noise wasn’t a problem as we travel with a white noise machine. All in all very pleasant visit. We will stay again."
