We loved our stay at this hotel. We did not like the limited lighting in our room. It was very dark. But overall, we would stay here again. We were able to walk to dinner and the museums and not have to deal with parking.

The location and hotel facility were perfect for us. Easy to walk to events and restaurants. The breakfast was lovely at the restaurant in the hotel. The room was very nice. Only downside was the smell of whatever spray was used to make the room smell better. We needed to l ave the room for it to dissipate - it was overpowering. It was better when we gave it some time and no issues by the time we retired for the evening.
