The hotel was very pretty, but on the expensive side (around $200/night), and the service was very poor. I was there almost 48 hours, yet my room was never cleaned, despite asking the maids to come, and my TV didn't work to boot.
The valet service was also horrible. They charge $20/night (which is standard), but for $20, you expect them to bring your car. Which they will, 45 minutes after you ask for it. And apparently, someone staying at the hotel drove a Maserati and Hotel Contessa wanted to leave it right in front for extra panache. Which is fine, except that the valets would constantly park our car right behind the panache Maserati, which meant that we could not leave once they finally brought us our car. We were forced to back out onto a busy street every single time, just because they refused to move the Maserati so our Ford Focus rental car could get by. Not a huge deal, but for the money, you just don't want to keep dealing with these sorts of issues.
The bellhop was really nice though. Unfortunately for Hotel Contessa, that's not enough to make me go back.
