Find better for less.
The hotel is rated to be an amazing place to stay. It has wonderful decorations and strives for excellence but to me falls short. The room size for the price was way too small. Especially the bathroom. There was no microwave. The snacks in the room overpriced. $6 for a snickers this isn’t a stadium. I asked three times for my air conditioner temp to be lowered but they never did. It said 67 but the room felt between 72-74. The elevator has added security but they don’t tell you that when checking in. One elevator was struggling to work. They tried to charge me for valet even though I didn’t use it. This hotel was a more let down.

2/10 Poor

Sad how bad things have gotten here.
I’ve stayed at KIMPTON hotels all over the world for the past 15 years.. including this one multiple times. I don’t know what has happened with this property, but it is by far the worst. So many things went wrong with this stay I can’t even begin to list them. I will say this.. everything could have been addressed if there was a single person who gave a damn. Pretty much the entire front desk staff should be fired. Incredibly rude and dismissive, None of them know a damn thing about hospitality. This is coming from someone who has been in the boutique hotel industry for 25+ years.

4/10 Fair

Pretty awful stay. Not at all what it used to be…
Room was dirty, the bathroom rug and towels had brown stains (I don’t want to know what it was) I called housekeeping to bring me some new towels and remove the rug. The AC was locked so I had no control over the room temperature and it was unbearably hot. I called the front desk once asking for someone to fix it. They said they would send someone. I waited an hour. They never came. I tried it again. They never came. The bathroom sink was clogged and would not drain. Rather than try and call again for someone to fix it, I just took it apart and fixed it myself. 8:45am multiple knocks on door from housekeeping with DO NOT DISTURB SIGN ON THE DOOR! Could not fall back asleep. I needed to stay a second night and inquired with the front desk about booking a second room. They quoted me a price that was $50 more than Hotels.com and would not come down to match it. I asked wouldn’t they rather I booked direct and was told “I really don’t care” Front desk was rude and dismissive. I’m not sure what’s happened to this property. I’ve stayed here probably a dozen times since this hotel opened, back as far as their opening week in 2016. Honestly it’s more disappointing each time. Unless something changes I’m sure this will be my last stay.

Disappointed this time.
I love the Cardinal and try to stay there whenever I’m in the area. This time, I found that the pillows were ROCK hard and so thick it was impossible to sleep. Our necks were very sore for the 4 days we were there. Still hurting! Mattresses were lumpy and room service mixed up our order 3 out of 4 times. The croissants were very stale, too. Housekeeping left the accumulating dirty glasses all over the room the entire time.
