The hotel was very clean and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. The surrounding area was walkable and had lovely museums, parks, stores nearby to explore. The only aspect that I didn't like was the breakfast. Paying $400 a night and with the hotel having it's own restaurant on the first floor I was expecting a better breakfast. Not the stone cold waffles in prepackaged plastic and warm orange juice. It is minor thing, but when you've stayed in hotels that cost substantially less and received a hot breakfast in the morning it was surprising.

The rooms at The Birchwood are phenomenal! Large, quiet and beautiful. Had a problem with the TV remote but I called the front desk and they resolved it right away. The bar and restaurant are SO nice. They had a new bartender who obviously had no bartending experience, so drinks were slow coming and not very tasty, but everything else was top notch.

Easy to get to the property. Valet parking is available which we took advantage of. Many restaurants, shops, museums, parks, venues within walking distance. It was very noisy on Friday and Saturday nights which made it difficult to sleep. But if you're here to party and stay out late, you'll have a fantastic time. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel but loud music

I waited a very long time for valet parking and then had to wait again for someone to show up to check me in, but other than that, the hotel is very nice. The only reason I would not stay here again was the loud music from the restaurant. It was so loud that at times it would vibrate the bed and it prevented me from getting to sleep until after midnight.
