Hotel is lovely. Spotless and in a perfect location. My only complaint is that that street noise carried all the way up to the 17th floor and it was loud with sirens, shouting, and even what sounded like drag racing in the early hours. I would stay here again, but with a little white noise to cover the excitement outside.
