Hotel was very good Area was a bit crowded but I think that is because it’s a touristy location

Shane United States of America

room was very well appointed. it was very spacious and comfortable. the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Albert

Paul United Kingdom

everything location, clean, nice view of the city, amazing room

Ariel United States of America

I upgraded to a small suite and it was very suitable. We did not spend much time in the room. Bed and pillows were very nice. Black out currents were invaluable. The suite was not necessary, it just gave you a little more room. We stopped by the bar at the end of the night and it was very lively and active. The valet charge is steep at $70, but it is charged to your account at Midnight, so, we checked out at 11 and stored our bags with the Bellman, then spent the day in the city. No extra charge for parking even leaving at 5pm.

Thomas United States of America

The bed was very comfortable! The new furniture and room design are great.

Willard United States of America
