It was awesome to be able to seamlessly check in and park at the hotel and go right from the parking garage into an elevator and up to my room. It was a beautiful hotel with amazing views of the city.

Room was clean and had everything we needed. Had an adequate view of the city. Location is near a few breakfast options if you opt out of the $30 breakfast buffet at the hotel. Within walking distance of Whole Foods, Walgreens/CVS, and Trader Joe’s. Staff and service were responsive and friendly. Would stay here again.
