Fabulous. Simply fabulous.
Rarely have I had a better stay. I was upgraded to a suite, a most impressive room - or series of rooms. The free bottle of wine was a nice touch. Service was great, especially the valet - who opened the door for me every time even though I didn't park with him. Speaking of that, the hotel could hardly have been more convenient for someone arriving by train, and departing by plane. And the price was most reasonable for this level of luxury.

Wonderful experience
Our stay at The Bristol was amazing! After long hours of travel traveling back to the country we chose to stay here with our family and glad we did! We were greeted by Joseph at the front counter which gave us awesome costumer service! He was super kind and very welcoming made sure to state if we needed anything for us not to hesitate in asking for assistance! Also Erick our valet assistant was very friendly and offered a helping hand as well, both took the time to talk to us which made us feel super welcomed!
Our rooms were super clean, beds and pillows super comfortable! Our rooms had awesome views! Had a very pleasant experience at the Bristol and will be booking here again the future!

Front Desk Service Sucks
The overall room and stay was good but the service from the front desk was not good it took 5 minutes for her to vome out of the office with a attitude. We went down and asked for extra pillows she had a attitude and told us she would have them brought up to us and we called two hours later to find out why no one answered and the pillows never came. I would hope theirs no emergency as theirs no one to take care of it?

Great for a long weekend
We were very happy with our stay. We stayed 3 nights.The staff were friendly and attentive and made us laugh!
The bed was comfy and clean. Loved the fridge access!
My only feedback is the room smelled heavily of marijuana due the folks next to us smoking, which we know the hotel cannot control.

Short walk to the theatre
This was the perfect place to stay within walking distance to the Civic Theatre. We were very comfortable with the hotel room.
