Lots of good dining options nearby. Parking is valet, but on weekends there’s a free public lot across the street. Room was a bit small, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Missed some things that I feel should be standard, like USB ports for charging devices.

This hotel is overpriced, from check in the hotel staff seemed bothered, took them about 15 mins to complete my check in. The hotel was almost emptied yet the lobby bathrooms were out of toilet paper and dirty. My room had a weird smell. Breakfast was decent but again the staff seem annoyed by peoples presence. Just go somewhere else.

The hotel was charming, ask for a room on a higher floor if outside noise bothers you while sleeping. The Vault: Marrini Bar wasn’t open while we were there and that was a little disappointing. Overall I would stay again.
