Staycation at the Raphael Hotel on August 10th.The Raphael is locally known for its charm and I will definitely say it has that, but it is very dated and there is a smell in the lobby that comes with older buildings.Limited parking is available on site. At check in you will receive a parking pass for you to put in your car window, so it doesn’t get towed. So be prepared to head back out to your car.Lobby is small, but they have an on-site bar with Live Jazz and a smooth Martini.Our room was was large but it was two doors away from the front desk and lobby, on street level. Some might like this, however I personally like to have my shades open letting the light in. We had to keep the shades drawn and could hear every car and person go past. Plus, I am not sure if it was the pipes screaming or our next-door neighbors having a good time. But, we actually ended up leaving early because I couldn’t comfortably go to sleep hearing people outside the windows.Location is amazing. Absolutely love how close the Plaza is, we were able to walk to our reservation at the Capital Grille in minutes.Overall, we probably won’t be back, the price did not match the quality.
