Recent Raphael Hotel Review: "I have stayed in luxury (boutique-style and corporate) hotels in NYC, Paris, London, Chicago, Hong Kong, New Orleans, and Miami, and I was not disappointed with The Raphael. The staff was professional, courteous and welcoming. They made sure that all our needs were met. We checked into our double queen room, which also had a sitting room with couch. Its view across the river to the Spanish-style old town plaza was delightful. The desk had plenty of plugs for us to recharge all our laptops and phones. Two flat screen TV's were available, but we didn't use them. The room overall was well-furnished and the colors were predominantly muted green, cream, and brown; very relaxing and pleasing. It was nicely done without appearing too corporate, or ostentatious. The headboards were upholstered leather, with curved details. The beds were extremely comfortable; each had 4 sleeping pillows, plus the 3 decorative pillows. Great linens on the beds. The room was very quiet; no street noise and no hallway, ice room or elevator noise. Room temperature was adjustable. Curtains were controlled by wall switches. Bathroom was spacious, extremely clean, and appointed with marble floors, toiletries, a sewing repair kit, bath soaps, plenty of fluffy, white towels, and floor mats. An ironing board, iron and blow dryer were in the closet. The mini-bar was well stocked with non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. There was also a good supply of candies, nuts and crackers. There were plenty of hotel-logo note pads and pens in the room. We did not use their restaurant in the hotel, nor did we use room service, so I can't comment on those. However, we asked the front desk personnel for a recommendation to a high quality BBQ restaurant which was within walking distance, and their recommendation was right on - it met all our criteria, and gave a very happy closure to our otherwise very strenuous day. I was pleased that they listened to what we were in the mood for, and hit the nail on the head wit"
