Sexy & Playful Vibe

I didn't get an opportunity to eat at the highly rated restaurant on premise, but the Ambiance of the restaurant, the sitting room, and other sitting areas on the ground level were sensual and inviting. The bed was very comfortable, and the towels were quality. I did not love the small seemingly not completely full shampoo and soap amenities, but they did provide them. There's also a great little coffee shop on premise. I loved the art & vibe throughout the hotel. The desk person who checked me in on my very late arrival was very helpful and informative about the area, also. While they do offer valet parking, there is a parking garage connected to the hotel, and plenty of streetside parking meter spots within a multi-block range. Speaking of the range, there are all kinds of fun, artsy, quirky restaurants and bars very near the hotel. Additionally, there are historic and museum opportunities nearby. I definitely look forward to staying there again in September and having time to enjoy the restaurant.
