I'm always happy to stay there, and the friends that I've recommended it to have enjoyed it too. The check-in is very friendly, maybe because they are sitting down at desks instead of standing on aching feet all day. The front desk also provides helpful and knowledgeable concierge service. The highlight of the hotel for me is its nightly happy hour, which features an excellent antipasto bar and a variety of beers and wines. The complimentary breakfast is also quite nice, since it is set up on each floor, although I would appreciate some more lower-carb options, like a wider variety of unsweetened cereals. Personally, during four separate stays, my room has always been quiet and comfortable, but reading the other reviews, I suppose you have to be careful about the garbage truck and alley noises. Again, I've never run it that problem myself. The location is ideal, within walking distance of quite a few destination restaurants. No pool, but the exercise room is great.
