Kimpton Cardinal Hotel

I had an incredible meal here tonight and because the steamy mussels reminded me of my sauna loving man’s son, K, I shall write this review from the K perspective: Tonight I went on a mission. It was mollusks vs me. Unfortunately due to the agile nature of their intuitive little foot, I was not able to complete my feast. Mollusks have defeated me in the art of course combat. Now, K, back to me…. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal! It was absolutely beautiful. The plating was perfect, the taste was incredible, and yes…I was too full to finish. I would absolutely recommend coming to this restaurant. It is really a culinary masterpiece! Amen for a chef who takes the time to make something so perfectly plated.

Room was very large, modern bathroom. Bed needs replacing and hotel still has loud slamming doors, which was awful with boys soccer teams staying at hotel. Night wine, water reception was cute, could probably throw in a cracker, fruit? The hotel was stunning, charming as it was older, built well, but needs a refresh in rooms. Great location to shops, dining, all walkable. Bar made great cocktails, was busy.

We just stayed one night traveling to the coast. The check in was easy. They had valet parking. The bar/restaurant area was great. All staff we encountered were friendly and polite.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Clean, modern, excellent staff. Really enjoyed the charcuterie at the lobby bar, too. My one complaint is the TV in the room was oddly ancient. Could not get any streaming channels. Could not even use Apple Air play to cast shows from my phone or computer.

Everything was fabulous. The room, the restaurant, and the rec facilities in the basement? What??!!?? The best I’ve ever seen in a hotel.

Guest should be asked if they are ok with being placed on a pet friendly floor. Pet owners should be allowed to leave pets alone in the room.
