I really wanted to be overly impressed by this hotel. Empress did impress in ways, like the dining and the staff, it was unimpressive in other ways. Beds were ok, linens nice, and pillows excellent.Traffic was noisy on the Hombolt rd side. We had two rooms and our second room was missing amenities, we had to ask for the room slippers the other room had. They go over the top with batbroom products and have a well stocked room for extras. Our room had a clothing steamer, iron and board, clothing brush yoga mat and shoe horn. I would stay here again for the food in the restaurant alone, but the staff also shine. The beds are not bad, but they are not amazing either and for the cost i hoped for amazing. Sun Valley lodge in Sun Valley id has way better beds, that was the caliber bed i was hoping for.
