The hotel was freshly updated and the staff was wonderful. The staff of valet was great too (not part of the hotel but great all the same). The neighborhood (not their fault) was very noisy... all night long. It was the only drawback. It was Friday and Saturday nights so maybe it could be better other nights?

The staff was friendly and valet service was speedy. There were no convenient stores in the area and a bottle of water in the room was $13. For a pretty pricey hotel, I was surprised water wasn’t included.
