My husband and I enjoyed a nice stay at the Bristol, but after requesting a quiet room months in advance, I was very disappointed to see that we were right across from the bus station. My husband thought that maybe that was the "quiet side", but I can't imagine that is was. The bed was quite uncomfortable, along with the pillows, so it was really hard to get a good night's sleep.
The front desk staff were very sweet, almost to a fault. As a group of guys were loudly gathering for a night on the town in the lobby, drinking out of Solo cups and playing the piano, the front desk seemed too meek to intervene. It just made the hotel look more like a frat house and less of a classy downtown hotel, that I know it has the potential to be. The room was clean, location was nice and the front desk and room service staff were very friendly, but I don't think I would stay here again.
