Excellent as long as you avoid last floor
Generally Very nice. However, for this visit I would say avoid last floor rooms due to Jazz restaurant that will make a lot of noise in the room and you won’t be able to sleep easily.

I loved the beautiful Hotel Lobby. I wasnt happy about the adjoining room door. I was awaken to hear my neighbors and relised you could hear everything through the thin adjoining door. Parking prices were also a bit to over priced.
