Check in staff was excellent. She was so nice and professional. My room was 2 doors from the ice machine which is exposed to the hallway. Extremely noisy. Woke me up in the middle of night, making ice .

The hotel is very nice and beds are comfortable. The only thing I disliked was how noisy it is. The doors in the hallway slam close so loud you can hear it in your sleep. There was a wedding party while I was there and they were very loud in the hallway late into the night...so I didn’t get a good night sleep at all. I would say the rooms are not sound proof at all. There was also a train that passed every hour outside my window but that didn’t bother me as much. Other than the noise the rooms and amenities are beautiful and everything is esthetic and very clean!

This hotel is absolutely wonderful. The design is unique and very inviting, the rooms had a homey feel with special touches (fun mirror, vase with flowers and books stacked on the desk, chaise lounge chair to relax in, robes hanging in the closet!). No coffee in the room because THEY’LL BRING YOU A FRENCH ORESS IF YOU CHOOSE COFFEE IN YOUR ROOM! 10/10 this hotel is going to be my go to if I’m ever in the Norwalk area again! This place is amazing! Can’t wait til May 9 when they open the roof top again!
