Pros: clean, quiet, and great central location. Small lobby bar, beautiful rooftop bar with an interior bar and two exterior small bars with lots of seating areas, great views. Decent lower level fitness center. Cons: valet…approx. $45 a day and they don’t even unload or reload luggage.

The mechanical system in the room ran all night long and couldn't be turned off, even after switching it to 'off.' The thermostat appeared to be purely decorative as it did not affect the system (temperature or fan settings).

We very much enjoyed our stay! What a beautiful property! Once we figured out we could park overnight in the same garage they valet in and just walk up with our stuff, the rest of our stay was very smooth and enjoyable.

Amazing! Celiac friendly breakfast

I have celiac and their breakfast was top notch! They offered individually packaged GF bagels and alternative milks and had turkey bacon (my daughter has a pork allergy). Usually we can eat minimally or not at all at hotel breakfast and we were all ridiculously pleased with the breakfast offerings. The beds were very comfortable, the bar on the top floor was fancy and the views incredible also it was in a great location to walk around! The only thing to note is that they don’t have free parking - You have to park in a parking garage across the street that you pay for. Or you can do valet parking, which obviously is also paid.

A Dance Weekend

Located right on Gay Street next to numerous shopping and dining spots. Getting in and out can be hectic but the valet service was marvelous! Buffet breakfast for $11 is a good value. Starbucks is next door with a hotel access.
