The attentive staff impressed us. everyone was cute and helpful. even the elevator rugs changed throughout the day. It was a cute touch. complimentary drinks. the bedding was dreamy. I seemed like i was sleeping on a cloud!!!

Fantastic stay near everything

central location helpful staff convenient breakfast
The location was really central (it meant easy access to major attractions). I appreciated the adjacent restaurant with good food, drinks, and a nice atmosphere. A coffee shop in the building offered convenient breakfast options. The front desk staff were consistently helpful and friendly.
My room faced a street with considerable noise. It kept me awake several times during the night due to loud music and people shouting.
