We just returned from a four night stay at the Raphael and were delighted that we chose this hotel. We stayed in a two room suite(103) which had a spacious living room. Our room rate included a full breakfast which was as good as we have ever had with choices such as Grand Marnier french toast, steak and eggs, eggs... more

Everything was great. Location, people, room. COOKIES. Rained one evening so spent time on piano lounge - very relaxing and enjoyable. Got a great price thru Travelocity. And did I mention the cookies more

I prepaid for a two night stay at this 4 star hotel. When I arrived at 10:30PM to check-in I was told the hotel had been overbooked but they would be happy to put me up at the Marriot down the road. Raphael is a 4 star hotel a block away from the Plaza. Marriot is a 3 star hotel... more

The Rapheal isn't your usual place. It's sort of like staying at grandma's hotel. I love this place because it is homey and small and feels real. If you want Four Seasons or Fairmont sterility don't stay here. Stay next door at the sterile huge hotel that changes ownership every year. Don't expect great sevice or stylish furnishings, but expect... more

We stayed one night December 30th. The hotel is very old so the room was not well insulated the room was cold and loud from the street noise.
