This is a wonderful hotel and was recently updated. It has the wonderful benefit of being above the finest restaurant in the city. For the business traveler, this hotel is perfect. However, there is no breakfast. There is no lunch and consequently, no room service. So if you’re staying several days after a while, it becomes a bit of a bummer that you need to walk and find someplace to eat breakfast and lunch. There is also no microwave in the room. However, if you’re staying overnight, you can’t beat it. We got a great rate and it was cheaper than the Hilton Garden Inn, and similar, which are much below this in standard of quality. However, for us, the lack of breakfast and lunch became an issue after several days.
