Great location, super friendly service, nice rooms. I opted for the slightly larger room with a king bed and was glad I did. Good happy hour specials... be sure to check out the rooftop bar...

The hotel was gorgeous and had a lot of charm and character. There was a bit of noise from the neighboring clubs/bars but other than that, everything was fantastic. I love the old school charm and style from the elevators to the restaurant. The food was amazing and service was wonderful. Everything was amazing!

We spent only one night here and enjoyed. Our room was comfortable but sort of dark since there were no view windows. Super friendly woman named Darryl helped us when we checked out. She gave great recommendations and was helpful with us departing.
