9.2/10 Wonderful! (110 reviews)
I have stayed in hundreds of hotels, and this was top notch. The property is in excellent condition, it’s got 24 hour security, the staff are all lovely, the housekeeping service is super responsive and did a great job on my laundry, all of the food in their restaurant is tasty and well made and all of the restaurant staff are terrific. I stayed 8 days and it was just perfect on all counts. I was able to put in full work days at the desk in my room and (with the windows shut) I enjoyed a sound night’s sleep without noise. Perfect for a business traveler!

Formerly the Sheraton. Staff were great. The property was dated. Someone jumped into the elevator who was not a hotel guest and propositioned me. Luckily he got off before I reached my room floor, but it was unsettling.
