Parking was a bit pricey, but very convenient. Front desk staff and valet were great. Woman who cleaned the room was polite and friendly (didn't speak a lick of English). I'll stay there again next time I have business in the area.

Lovely boutique hotel, easy valet parking, great location, room with queen was comfortable and clean. The only draw back was that the bathroom was incredibly and abnormally small. Great hotel if you're travels involves being out and about most of the day.

Beds were firm and comfortable. Business center is well organized and clean. Staff is friendly and efficient. I wish they had a vending machine or pantry with soft drinks and snacks. I don't drink coffee and tea wasn't that good. A refrigerator and microwave in the room would be great.
