Check in was a breeze, the staff was friendly and helpful, the room was well appointed and we even got to use our record player. The happy hour was a nice touch and the restaurant on premise was very good as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Ed checked us in, nothing but excellent service...gave us a quiet room with nice view, offered coffee in the room, coupon for free appetizer upon knowing we had reservation at Abaca. Come check out, the ff day as we only did a staycation for hubby's bday, blond lady at front desk... forgot to get her name, only gave us additional 30 minutes of extended stay after I said we are having brunch at their resto. She said that tho I'm IHG member, I can't avail of 2pm check out a i booked with Travelzoo. Went back to the room a lil past 11 to meet 1130 check out but room key won't work. She didn't even bother to extend the access at all.

There is not coffee in your room, but coffee in the lobby from 6am-9am. I wish it went to 10am.

There was a dj in the lobby which made it a party atmosphere. Very disappointed in the room. We booked a king room but ended up with 2 bed room and room was subpar. The building fire alarm went off, and we had to evacuate the hotel. I would never stay there again.

there is not enough light in the units, bathroom lighting is too dark and it's hard to do make up and hair. Similarly since the unit was on the 2nd floor, and facing another building across, it was not practical to keep the blinds open so one was forced to keep them closed for the most part and that too meant that unit was too dark at all times.

Provide more lighting.

Room was very good except that there was only one chair for 3 of us and that chair was not suitable for relaxing or reading. Also, no space in room to play games. Request for an additional chair was rejected. This was our only complaint, but because of this, we would not book this hotel again. Service was friendly and helpful.

Made a reservation for king and was given a quiet room with two doubles. When we asked for king they gave us a room overlooking the garbage cans and a very noisy fan. Wasn’t pleased about that but didn’t complain because it was like we were being “punished “ for asking for the king.

Prior to check in we called and asked about late checkout at 2pm .We were we told because we were told because we had joined the IHG members rewards that if available no problem. Again when we checked in we asked the very helpful blonde female staff member about 3pm checkout, she said if available. Since no could check in till 4pm there should not be a problem. The next day again at 10:30am we asked at the front desk about 2pm check out . A very rude white male said No we are fully booked . I explained that we were enrolled membership and had already asked and were told since no one could check it our room until 4pm what the problem ? He then rudely said while when's house cleaning suppose to clean the room . I said at 2pm . He replied gladly just pay for another day . I said that's unacceptable as a member. Then his excuse was i didn't book the room on their website . I'm sorry I didn't get his name ,everyone else was so wonderful. The hotel was beautiful, services were great . The only thing missing was a Bible in the room lol Thank you a otherwise wonderful stay Charles Blancet

Booking was easy. Price seemed fine until we got there. There were so many additional fees per night, the stay was well over $300/night not $189 as advertised. Also, they didn’t have 2 queen beds, only 2 room with a king and an adjoining door, which was difficult given the age of my kids.

I stayed the evening at the Alton because I didn't want to drive the 90 minutes home at night following a work obligation in the city (Dogpatch neighborhood). The deal offered by TZ at the Alton was too good to pass up. I really just stayed for one night: took a shower, slept and left the next morning. It is evident the Alton is an older property. And the photos online did not match the hotel in real life. Still, it was a pleasant enough stay and the staff was very nice.

I was surprised at the neighborhood driving to the Alton. It appeared so lovely online but the surrounding area is not so sparkly. The staff was very friendly though and valet parking is convenient and quick. I'm dedicated to Kimpton Hotels so I will always give them a priority when choosing where to stay.

On the downside, the gym is poor. The Nespresso machine was defective and the replacement was quite “flaky “ but could be tweaked to work.

I made this reservation for my son. I called in advance to tell them that he would be using my credit card to pay. The guy said no problem and was super nice. My son got there and the receptionist treated him like a criminal. Said she wouldn't accept it. She told him to get out of line until he figured it out. He couldn't believe how horrible she was. He said she was angry. He did not get out of line and had to use his card. He called me when he was dealing with her and she was very rude. He got there on the 18th.
