At $500 per night, this hotel was overpriced for what was delivered. It was clean, quiet and in a good location, but $65/night for valet parking and nearly $100 for breakfast for two in the lobby restaurant was ridiculous. We ate breakfast in the lobby restaurant the first morning strictly out of convenience, but there are many other cheaper and better options close by. Given so many other options in the area, I probably would not stay here again.

The hot tub and rooftop lounge were advertised but unavailable which was disappointing since that is why we chose this place. When inquiring about this we were offered some free drinks which was nice.

I was there on a business trip for 4 days. I have to say that the location of the hotel is absolutely amazing. It’s walkable to a lot of restaurants, cafes, pubs, and activities. The staff at the restaurants and bars are very friendly and welcoming. The room are a bit dirty. Housekeeping doesn’t sweep or vacuum the floor when you make up the room. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

The property was very nice and impressive. The suite we stayed in was not as expected. The room was nice, a bit sparse in amenities, but definitely spacious. One of the pillow was dirty and they had it changed. The automatic blinds were not working and the TV was not working as well. We were told the TV was an issue with the provider service and was confirmed to be working by morning. In all, for the money, I do not feel it was worth the cost, but it was a nice place.
