Great location but 40 parking fee for valet is steep considering room price. Very noisy street noise and we’re on the 18th of 20th floor facing mountains. The rooms are very old looking for price. Hotel is beautful. Wouldn’t stay again.

The room was not available at 4:00 check time. The desk clerk presented that fact to us casually without any tone of regret, implying that this is par for the course. We ate at one of the restaurants in the hotel. The restaurant was very busy, which I understand, but it took one hour to get our food after we ordered it. I have sympathy for the waitress, who was clearly in over her head. Probably a J-3.

We had the best time here. The rooms were comfortably spacious, with the exception of the shower/bathroom. Overall, the hotel itself offered a lot and is right in the heart art of multiple must see’s.
Hotel lobby was warm and comfortable.
There were a couple of great options for dinner and drinks in the evening. The spicy marg at whale’s tail was great and so was dinner.
We lived the coffe shop downstairs for coffee mimosas, provisions and merch.
A fun little spot around the corner for breakfast/brunch!
