Nice hotel with a great lobby bar and restaurant. Enjoyed the valet and not worry about parking. The Continental breakfast could have been better for the price. Glad I got the vouchers when I booked the room. Not worth the $20 is paid at the restaurant.

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.
