We were meeting our son downtown for his 21st birthday. It was a convenient place to stay as we parked our car in the parking lot and walked to our destinations. The bed was comfortable and so were the pillows! Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

A very up-scale hotel within 2 blocks of the downtown area. Room was very nice, clean and comfortable. The only negative aspect was the parking location. The parking spots available for the hotel was two levels down from street level. Lots of turns to get down to the area. Not easy access.
