I can't fault my stay here. The location was perfect for my needs. Shipping and dining options were plenty. As for the hotel itself, the staff were incredible, the room immaculate and the bed so comfy I wish I had a late check-out because I didn't want to get up. I can't wait for my next stay here

A very nice hotel located near Chinatown. The room was beautiful and clean. Sections are under renovation, but it's not a huge deal. The staff was super helpful and recommended a nearby doctor when I got sick.

I got woken each morning at 6am by pidgeons cooing on my balcony despite the bird deterrents placed there. Would have liked a sleep in! But that’s my only complaint.
