    Spacious, friendly, helpful staff and very clean. There is nothing I did not like

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Oh my! This was my first stay at a 5-Star hotel and it lived up to a 5-Star rating! Every interaction with staff went beyond their typical duties. If I mentioned something during an interaction with staff, they went and provided more special customizations. Lovely! The room was unique, clean and quiet. The food and drinks good. The Library Bar a special treat. I'm glad I treated myself to a one night stay!

    Everything! Nothing

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Love love love this property!!!! Everything about the hotel was fabulous. I hope to return soon.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Great location. Stunning design and ambience. Incredible attention to every detail by the interior designers. One of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in the US. And the service is great. All staff was welcoming, proactive and kind. Kids everywhere: in the Library, at the Bar (even in the evening). No adult-exclusive areas to enjoy if you are trying to read, disconnect or enjoy a cocktail.

    while we enjoyed the decoration in the room, it was a bit too dark.

    Literally everything

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    This hotel is superb! Every person we encountered - from the valet, to the bellman, to the bartender, to the room service - was super friendly and helpful. Every aspect of this hotel is next level. The service is amazing, the hotel is nicely renovated, preserving its heritage, the surrounding area is lively, and there are a ton of restaurants and bars nearby. We will definitely be coming back here!

    Food

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Staff greeted you No coffee available before 7am, the intended thing I'd change

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    I felt ripped off by the whole experience. This hotel is hopefully not long for the world at these prices. My wife had 5 bites which resemble bed bug bites so we got out of there.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    I love the Hotel Emma! While so many hotels are no longer providing room service, the Hotel Emma is superior at offering outstanding food choices all day and night. The service is outstanding. The staff is always polite, prompt and super helpful. I can't think of anything I don't like.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    I was incredibly impressed with the hotel staff. Everyone, from the valet to the front desk to the turn-down service, was fantastic. I especially loved that the concierge was so attentive but never felt intrusive. The ability to simply text them for questions or requests was a truly thoughtful touch. Nothing. Everything was amazing.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    The service is absolutely exceptional. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed, and no detail is missed. Every employee we came in contact with was professional, friendly, and vested in making our stay special. We are already planning a trip back.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    The whole atmosphere of the hotel exceeded my expectations! I would recommend a room with a balcony as it comes with a fireplace. We are planning on returning when the weather is cooler to take advantage of that.
