Recent Burnham Kimpton Review: "Kimpton Hotels are the best for a unique, boutique hotel experience. We've never gone wrong at any Kimpton property and the Hotel Burnham was no exception. In fact, it probably had the best service of all the Kimpton Hotels we've stayed in, and that says a lot. The hotel is historic and the architecture extremely interesting. The Atwood Cafe had fantastic  food, the servers and Executive Chef all extremely professional and friendly. The evening wine reception is always nice at Kimpton Hotels, and the Hotel Burnham featured appearances by the Atwood Cafe manager and Executive Chef with complimentary appetizers (warm tempura apricots with raspberry sauce, nicely complemented with a Shiraz-Cabernet). One example of how personal the service gets: On check-in, I mentioned to the front desk that we had stayed at the Kimpton Harbor Court the week before and they had cookies and milk at 9:30 PM. They told me they didn't have that event, but would recommend it to the hotel manager for the future. We had dinner in the Atwood Cafe and on return to our room waiting for us was......a plate of cookies and a pitcher of cold milk! This was typical of the service level here, with EVERY employee friendly and accomodating. Even the housekeeping staff person left us a long personal note. Great hote!"
