St. Martin’s Lane Hotel Redeemed

I take all (well, almost all) of my previous negative thoughts back.  The hotel’s concierge service is amazing.  I asked for a restaurant reservation with 30 minutes to spare at prime time.  What kind, Beth asked?  Trendy, but quiet enough to talk, great food, not a chain.  A couple of phone calls later, Beth had me a reservation at Origins in the private club, The Hospital, the exact restaurant I would have chosen if I knew it existed.  Local cuisine.  Beautiful presentation.  Fantastic service.  A delightful 10-minute, interesting walk from the hotel.  I couldn’t have been happier.
