I was best man at my best friends wedding last week and the happy couple picked this hotel as their reception venue. Firstly, as a hotel I couldn't recommend it enough. The rooms were lovely, all double rooms have a four poster bed and all double rooms have 2 queen size beds. The cleanliness of the rooms are of high... More

The Desmond always has great service, it is somewhat dated, but I noticed on my last stay that they are slowly getting rid of the "grandma's house" feel. It is fairly quiet and convenient to walk to the more casual bar across the street "Baxter's", if you are not in the mood for the more upscale atmosphere in the bar... More

Recently stayed at the Desmond - and its a throw back to 1985. Floral wall paper everywhere and the halls have a very 'shinning' feel. Stayed on the 2nd floor and it appears to be under renovations. Never got a great sense of clean here, but it wasn't necessarily dirty either. Again, my room looked like grandma's would - more... More

I just paid $19 for the brunch buffet and ate almost nothing. I have not one good thing to say....I asked for an egg white omelette and less oil, the chef was unable to manage this and gave me a sloppy white mess of half cooked slop that I didn't even taste, it looked that bad. Potatoes were swimming in... More
