I only have experience with the spa, but just wanted to say that Katie was an absolutely stellar therapist; it was one of the best massages I've ever had. Kind, perfect pressure, and great & relaxing technique. The pool area is a bit small but the sauna was also very nice.

The room was a million degrees and the thermostat had no effect, the halls were incredibly loud so I could hear people using the elevator at all hours in the night, including chimes and doorbells.

Everyone who works here was very nice and helpful, but I go to hotels to get a good n...

The location is great. The Hop on hop off bus...

This is not a 4 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination. I wanted to like it but it was below par. The room was the most disappointing. The most basic room I have ever stayed in of any brand. Hodge podge with no design aesthetic. Wood floors, 2 chairs, a small circular side table and a TV and standing lamp in the corner. We had a window with a view of a full garbage dumpster. Didn't f...
