The staff were absolutely fantastic, we loved our stay, we were only in town for a weekend visiting friends, but wished we could have stayed longer. Also, the room was decorated perfectly, it looked like boutique hotels I've stayed in all over the world, but with more space.

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
