Super nice room, but even better attentive staff and fabulous lounge/bar/bistro food area. Price was right even adding parking and breakfast. Room had safe, microwave, coffee maker, good shower, comfy bed, and fridge but sadly no freezer. Would alter our schedule to stay here again.

Schwanky!

This is one of the nicest, schwankiest hotels I've stayed at...ever! And the value for the money is unbeatable. I loved how close it was (within walking distance) of the Haymarket District and plenty of great eating establishments.

No streaming TV

Hotel was nice with an upscale decoration. With the price tag & look of the hotel, I was surprised that the large TV in the room had no streaming options, which was frustrating.
