The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only reason I didn't score it a 5 was parking. There were very few parking spots on the street. We were left with no choice but to use valet.

The room was spotless clean and the staff were courteous. Daily housekeeping was done. The room offered two king beds, a desk, a bathroom with a shower. Amenities included a safe (we were not given and did not ask for the code though), a mini fridge, an iron, and a blow dryer. I would have liked it better if there was a small microwave oven to heat up water for tea or restaurant leftover food.
