The staff was very friendly and having a comedy club onsite. It’s a historic hotel (formerly the Berlin opera house - not that Berlin). Makes up for the fact the downtown is the most depressing downtown I have ever been in. But if you have to be here, it’s worth coming to this hotel to make the stay bearable
