This is a beautiful hotel but lacked the amenities other hotels generally supply the traveler with. No coffee maker in the room. If you want coffee, you can get it after 6:00am till empty on every floor. No microwave, no ice machine. Doors going to the parking lot, which are accessed through the basement, are open till 12:00am. When we left at 6:00am they were open. No overhead to shield you from the rain when checking in or repacking your car. There is a restaurant on premise, but no snack or soda machine. The hotel seems to be focused on appearance and not so much on the travelers things they need.

Beautiful property, very clean, 555 had excellent food and staff was exceptional. The only marginal comment I can make is that the bed wasn’t very comfortable. It was clearly well used as there was an indentation where the majority of clients that have stayed in that room clearly prefer.

My husband and I arrived to The Federal with a warm greeting and beautiful accomendations. We met our relatives for dinner downstairs and everything that was served was excellent. The tomato watermelon gazpacho was to die for! All the staff were super friendly. The beds were comfortable and our room was very clean. I have nothing negative to say except the coffee pot was running low in the morning, but I am sure they took care of that soon after my husband walked away. . Don’t hesitate to book here.
