Nice hotel.

Nice hotel. Great location. Lovely staff. I didn’t much like the restaurant in the hotel, though the staff there was very nice. Great rooftop bar but it gets very crowded. There is a $30 hotdog on the menu! I didn’t order it. Oddly enough the raw oysters which I did order were quite reasonably priced.
