Good - except for the beds

This is a solid 3-star hotel in a 5-star location. Unfortunately, we found the bed and pillows very uncomfortable and were unable to sleep for the entirety of our stay. You should know ahead that you must valet your vehicle for $25 per night. There is very little street parking and it is only 2-hour parking from 8am-6pm or you will receive a ticket from the city. The location is great - walkable to downtown and the bayfront and a short drive to the beach. The bar and pool areas are also nice. The staff was excellent. The walls are a bit thin, but like I said - it's a solid 3-star hotel in an otherwise very expensive area of town.
