Wonderful staff
Vincent, 13-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in 304 the black room. Love the space and bathtub was fabulous. Slight flaw in design in the bathroom as the tiles in front of the sink were too and a bit of a tripping hazard. The solution for us was to fold the bath mat in half and lay it that part of the floor. Breakfast was great, and they accommodated our vegetarian requests.
Celeste, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We liked generous space, cleanliness, peace and quiet, closeness to areas we visited.

Absolutely fabulous hotel. Wonderful staff and rooms WOW. Breakfast is incredible. A Must stay
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great amenities (nice breakfast daily, drinks in the mini fridge replenished with every room cleaning, a wide range of toiletries in the bathroom) but taking a star off for the bathroom. Lots of dark mildew on the tiles and grout mostly in the bathroom but also kind of near the sink, likely because the vent in the bathroom wasn’t working. We notified the staff after the first night and they said they’d look into it but not sure if anything was done after we left, it likely just needs a full bathroom deep clean scrub. I ended up just buying bathroom slippers to wear in the shower. Would have been 5 stars if the bathroom was clean.

The Screen is an amazing hotel! Our room was very beautiful and well-designed. The breakfast was incredibly delicious and the staff thoughtfully accommodated all of our dietary restrictions. Everyone we interacted with was very kind and attentive. The desk staff even gave us dry umbrellas when we came in with wet ones. Fantastic service!! It is very well-located as well.
