My stay at Kimpton Santo was a mixed experience. The hotel's modern architecture and comfort were impressive, but I faced issues with room service during my Thanksgiving visit due to staffing shortages. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and I appreciated the pet-friendly policy, but the lack of daily housekeeping left a sour note for my family. Overall, I see great potential for the hotel, but improvements in service consistency are needed.
