Lovely hotel for a reasonable pricepoint, in a great area. The room itself was a bit small, but not uncomfortable. It felt like an older hotel, but modernized. It had an upscale vibe, and the valet service provided was particularly excellent! It's walkable to local spots, and also convenient to drive to other areas. Are the rooms the most luxurious in the world? Certainly not, but they did the trick for us!
