Nice hotel. Great location. Good breakfast. Our only complaint is about noise. The hotel has live music in the atrium from early in the morning until about 10 pm. Our room, along with many others, had windows facing into the atrium, and the noise from the music, and sometimes large tour groups at breakfast, may disturb your sleep.
