"Very nice and upscale hotel! Roof top bar and restaurant were phenomenal, we didn’t eat but had a drink with great vibes. Everything was absolutely lovely great walking distance to almost everything downtown. The only negative was it’s near a fire station and it seemed there was a fire every hour on the hour. But great sleep between! I’d stay again with earplugs."
