The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. The staff was fantastic, the location was very close to lots of good restaurants. I wish our room looked out onto the street instead of towards the center of the hotel. Be warned it is loud on Fri and Sat nights until around midnight since they have live music in the lobby. I enjoyed it and could fall asleep regardless.
