Excellent location. Staff were great. Body and shower products were heavenly. The cocotte restaurant was good. Bed was a bit soft, and didn’t like the pillow. You can hear the noise of the connected restaurant because of the atrium, which is beautiful. Tips: bring your own pillow and earplugs and put something on the floor to cover the gap under the door and the noise will be fine. I would go back again, especially considering its location and easy, unlimited come and go valet parking.

Tv didn’t work, Bluetooth speaker didn’t work. Shower head was not functioning as it should. Make up Stained pillow cases. Super long wait to get car at valet. Hotel is nice but still has a lot of work to do to live up to the William grey name. After I told supervisor about all the issues….all they offered was free parking !!!! Rooms are okay at best! Overall not what we expected.

The library layout of the lobby and leather furniture plus lots of seating made this hotel feel cozy but still upscale. Rooms were very comfy, the staff was amazing. The attached restaurant was superlative. Walking distance to all the sights. Can't wait to return!
