I really like how everyone called me by my name. Also the mule wine was complimentary by the lounge next to the fireplace was very nice to enjoy as a guest. I also loved the turn down at night. It was so nice to have everything ready for me before bed time. I will be back.

I liked the hotel. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The food was good, as well. The problem I had is that Citi Bank told me that Bloomsbury was a "Red-Alert" Hotel, and they warned me about fraudulent practices, so it left me feeling uncertain the entire stay.

The staff were all exceptional. Our only complaint is the floors in our room were LOUD. The wood under the carpet creaked loudly with every single step which would wake anyone trying to sleep.

I think the location lets this hotel down. The entrance is behind the dominion theatre and so you effectively enter via a side street. I think it is over priced for the location and experience.
