Great location near downtown near Chinatown, shopping, and restaurants
Pros:

We liked the layout of the room as well as the view from the widows. We weren't expecting the kitchen in the room. We didn't end up needing it, but it was definitely a plus to have.

Cons:

The towels in the bathroom were quite small. Understand this is industry standard but would have appreciated larger ones. Also, at night we were able to hear/feel the music from the night club up on the 5th floor which slightly interfered with sleep. Imagine this would have been worse on lower floors.

Pros:

The staff are friendly and welcoming. The car service is super convenient — they pick up and drop off your car whenever needed, so you don't have to worry about finding parking. The location is very good with everything nearby, and it’s a great value for what you get. Having a kitchen with a large fridge was also a huge plus, making it very easy to cook and store food.

A fabulous hotel in an amazing location with incredible staff!
Pros:

The location of the hotel was central to shops, water, grocery stores, restaurants and fast food. The room was fabulous with two beds and a pullout couch - great for a mom traveling with two adult children. The kitchenette was a great bonus!
