Hotel Sorrento

Hotel Sorrento

10/10 Excellent
"Came to town for a conference, and whenever someone asked me where I was staying they always had a story about the time they stayed at the Sorrento: for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, etc. There was a bar mitzvah going on in the Fireside Room when I arrived - I didn't realize then that stories were being made, but now I certainly do! BTW, the Halloween decorations there were outstanding as well - my favorite was the floating witch hats that reminded me of the candles in Hogwarts' Great Hall. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the room was outstanding, and the facilities just oozed history. Details like actual newspapers on the front desk gave me all the feels of stepping back in time without the place feeling dated in a bad way. Just opening the elevator door each day of the week made me smile. I look forward to staying here again when my travels bring me back to this corner of the country, and to hearing more stories like Bellamy's, aka "Feathers.""
