The beds were comfortable, the hot water was FIRE, the location was perfect and the diner in the lobby was convenient and delicious. Valeting our car was mildly annoying but at least I didn't have to park in a tiny space or stress about finding a spot. I would stay here again for sure!

This is not the first time we've stayed here, and it won't be the last! Comfortable room and wonderful service. I confess, I was picky and asked to change rooms and they accommodated me cheerfully. Then, I embarrassed myself because I compared the size and view to a previous room we stayed in - not realizing they had upgraded me on a previous trip without telling me! It's a great place, perfectly located for so many theaters, and the Clark Street Diner below is the best breakfast in town.
