We received a complimentary upgrade to a suite, and our room was wonderful - spacious, clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. All the staff were friendly and willing to offer help. You also can’t ask for a better location when it comes to restaurants and bars. We walked to breakfast and dinner each night.

Loved the city vibe and feeling like I'm in a NY hotel without the hustle and bustle of the heavy traffic. Everything we wanted was in walking distance and a beautiful walk it was. Would definitely stay here again on our next adventure.
