Ratings and Reviews of The Jefferson Hotel

9.8 user rating
  • I cherish old classic properties like the Jefferson, where they have restored and respected the beauty of the original structure yet have all modern facilities to create an all around delightful environment. The experience was made even better with the wonderful and warm staff. Thank you for a great stay!
  • Top class service in every respect at the Jefferson! We unfortunately were staying for only one night, but the room was quiet, comfortable, beautiful and spacious, and the food and service was excellent. We definitely recommend!
  • First visit back to the Jefferson in 42 years. Even more beautiful than we remembered. Meticulously maintained, the rooms are spacious with all the amenities one could ask for. A walk in closet, large bathroom with double sinks and separate shower, tub and lavatory. The service and staff are excellent from the front desk to the wait staff at Lemaire where we had a delicious meal and great breakfast. The Jefferson is what a 5 star hotel should be.
