Overall a great stay, a wonderful hotel and I will be back to visit.
Pros:

The room was spacious and clean and had a great view. The location of the hotel was great and within walking distant to local bars and restaurants.

Cons:

We requested an extra bottle of water that was never delivered to our room. And we paid for a late check out but we never received the new keys so we were locked out of our rooms temporarily until they activated the new room keys.

Very enjoyable hotel experience with a great staff and peaceful ambiance.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly, the lobby smelt very clean, the layout of the two bedroom is very simple and elegant and beds are very comfortable. This is my second time here.

Cons:

The valet is a little pricey but worth it since there is no parking anywhere else.

Don't Stay Here just because of the Brand Name!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room was tiny and crowded. The coffee supplies were terrible. The view looked directly into other rooms so we had to keep the drapes closed.

Better than I expected
Pros:

Even though I was on the 4th floor with a view of the post office it was good. I didn't mind that as long as I'm not on the first floor. Besides I was barely in my room as I was in a workshop most of the time.

Cons:

It's very crowded in the check in/out area with the restaurant right there.
