Excellent hotel experience all around. Very nicely appointed, roomy, and quiet. Entire hotel was immaculately clean and staff friendly. Great lobby area for gathering with friends, and hotel restaurant off the lobby was fantastic. Highly recommend upgrade to corner room. One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at in years.

The hotel was very nicely restored from a last-century hotel. I was disappointed however, with the shower. The water pressure in my 9th floor room was so low that I had difficulty washing shower gel off. This seems like a relatively simple thing to fix in an otherwise very nice facility.
