This is a top notch hotel due to its location and some excellent staff.
Pros:

The location was perfect and so convenient to all the local attractions. The front desk staff were fabulous and extremely helpful and recommending nearby restaurants, etc.

Cons:

It was very convenient to have a restaurant and bar on premises, and some of the service staff were excellent while others kept us waiting for way too long.
