Good location. Expensive for a fairly modest room

Great location and able to walk to many areas of the city also only a 10 min walk to the metro to travel further afield.

− Our room was perfectly functional with comfortable beds but a bit drab and expensive for what it was.

The "Old Money" feeling. the Lobby was absolutely beautiful, and the staff were very welcoming and kind. They also have bell men that were great!
