This is an older but well maintained hotel. Really the only things showing their age were the elevators and the air conditioning units. The room was very clean with no smell, and the beds were extremely comfortable. No noise issues even though the hotel is downtown. The breakfast buffet and made to order omelets are well above average. They would be pricey if bought a la carte, I got a deal when adding them to the room ahead of time, making it very worth it.

We were upgraded to a nicer room and our room was very spacious. The entire hotel is very modern and decorated really nice. They gave us champagne as we arrived and got us a reservation in their restaurant even though it was said to be full. The food was really good too! We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is close to everything and walkable to lots of restaurants, shops, etc.

I booked this as a girls night out with my best friend. We were very excited to use the patio area….under the impression on the pictures. The patio was dead and no bar. Also no ambient lighting like in the pic. Otherwise we had a great time. But had the patio been like the images we would have had an amazing time.i would still recommend this hotel, I just hope they fix the patio.
