I had an overall wonderful experience at The Jefferson Hotel, where the staff's service truly stood out, making me feel valued every moment. The charm of the decor is undeniable, though my room was a bit smaller than expected, which made moving around a challenge. Dining options at Quill were delicious, and the warm welcome I received, especially with thoughtful touches like chocolate-covered strawberries, enhanced my stay. I do wish the bar had more reserved seating for guests, as it felt overcrowded at times.
