Grand Old Hotel Offering a Grand Experience

The Mayflower offers beautiful facilities, a convenient location, and top notch service, particularly during the week. My absolute favorite feature: if you dial the front desk for a wake-up call rather then using the alarm clock or automated system, you will be asked “Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?” and a tray with a pot of your beverage of choice and a newspaper will be delivered to your door within ten minutes of the wake up call.

I only gave a rating of four because I have stayed at the Mayflower both during the week and on a weekend, and although the service is flawless during the week, on the weekend it wasn’t quite up to snuff. At times, it was “like amateur night in Dixie,” as my drama teacher used to say. Lost reservations, items delivered to the wrong room, doormen not holding the door, dirty towels left in the bathtub. They did make good on any problems we had, but it was very surprising to have them in the first place, since none of that went on during the week.
