- "Beautiful rooms, excellent service. Excellent onsite restaurant. Nice vibe in the lobby" - "Great service, everyone was courteous and helpful. Breakfast was delicious." - "Beautiful hotel but in a strange city- literally too upscale for the area. I didn’t “ get it,” or why such an expensive hotel was in this downtown area. Room was absolutely beautiful; well appointed with warm and cozy textiles in invited hues. However, the water pressure was horrible and the shower was beyond disappointing. Glad I didn’t have to wash my hair because I would never have been able to remove the shampoo. No full length mirror and lighting was too dark to apply makeup, had to use my own light."
