Positives: Bed was super comfy and the staff was lovely. Close to Northerly Island. Next to Paris baguette. Negatives: Thin, old (really old) towels. No handheld shower. Narrow bathroom. Super-thin toilet paper. Hotel and rooms are showing their age. Rooms need fresh paint.

Lovely hotel with clean rooms and a great location. Some areas are a bit dated, if tha matters to you. Staff was friendly and helpful and the valet service was very prompt. Don't miss the attached pastry shop!

This hotel is in a great area and the staff are nice. The rooms are very much outdated, tiny pillows, damp carpet, and showers that flood the bathroom. Their incidental deposit system is not very desirable. They actually charge you the deposit, days after your stay, then refund it, days after that. No onsite breakfast either. I've only stayed here when my usual place isnt available but after my last stay I may not come back.
