totally chic!

great location helpful valet easy check-in
location rocks! i walked everywhere i wanted to go, including amazing restaurants. valet was super helpful giving directions. the staff was really nice, the front desk made check-in easy and upgraded my room for free because it was my birthday. plus the rooms are big and very clean.
i didn't like how dim the lobby felt. it had dark colors and didn't feel very cute. the decor in the rooms could use a refresh too, it seemed a little outdated.
