Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This is the second time my daughter and I spend an overnight stay at the Mansion on 17th Street. We like the location, the decor, and the breakfast is simply the best. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and check-in and check-out is easy. We especially liked not having to check out until noon.
Negative: We like it just the way it is and wouldn't change a thing.
Summary: Our stay at the Mansion on 17th Street is a quick and enjoyable Mother/Daughter get-away.

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff were very nice. The breakfast was exceptional and the entire facility was nice.
Negative: We booked a room with a balcony however the room we had did not have one. Staff person indicated that we access the balcony via a window. That's strange. The room did not have a functioning ceiling light (either the wall switch or light bulb was defective) and the bed was too soft (cushy) for our taste. The tub shower did not drain well at all, the bracket that supports the shampoo/body wash/conditioner bottles was loosely fitted to it's support rod & was a hassle to pump out shampoo/conditioner/body wash from their containers. There was no body wash in its container & there was not much shampoo & conditioner in their containers. The tub shower curtain setup was not very good at keeping water from leaking onto the floor. The curtain itself appeared like it was not replaced in a while. It had lots of soap scum build up.
Summary: Overall stay was okay however the neighborhood & location was most excellent.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Stunning house lots of history
Negative: The beds and the linen pillows awful slept with clothes on as the bed seemed dirty with the age of the pillows and bed linen think as there were staff there should have been more opportunity to have perhaps an evening drink on the porch instead of just happy hour
Summary: An interesting hotel
