SheilaUnited StatesI like the way it was furnished with the antique furniture. Some things could be improved upon. It’d be nice if you got an ice machine accessible to your patrons. Disappointed to find out that the WiFi and the restaurant…
Grit KathrinGermanyDas Konzept des Hotels, es war eine schöne kleine Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit.
Das Frühstück könnte etwas besser sein, einige Möbelstücke haben einen sehr intentensiven Altgeruch.

Location was great, free parking.
I booked quickly and didn't realize the hotel doesn't offer a TV, microwave, refrigerator, ice, or hair dryers.
The Booking.com listing states: "Each room includes a balcony or a…

What we’d check for you here

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.

- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Cosmopolitan Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Cosmopolitan Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Cosmopolitan Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Cosmopolitan Hotel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Cosmopolitan Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Cosmopolitan Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Cosmopolitan Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Cosmopolitan Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
