Recent Brown Hotel Review: "The lady that helped us out at check in seemed to be very helpful. We asked her if there was a room available with a good view. She said, "yes, but the room may be a little smaller." We were fine with a (slightly) smaller room with a view, but when we got to the room it was the size of a broom closet with only a full size bed. We had to go back to the  desk to ask for a different room, for this was far from the quality of room which we paid. (King bed/Club level) The lady that helped us originally quickly left the desk as it was her turn to help us once again, and the gentleman that did help us made it right to place us in a room with a king bed, within a room that was 2.5 to three times bigger than the room that we were originally placed. Fortunately the gentleman made it right for us; however, be aware of the level of room that you purchase when you actually get to your room. Overall, this is a beautiful and historic hotel. I had a very questionable service experience during check in."
