Maybe the most pleasant and helpful staff we've encountered, both at the front desk and the housekeeping people. Great location (except for the current construction), spacious and comfortable room. Underground parking is a bit interesting to get into, as the alley is quite busy, and the garage is, as underground parking usually is, a bit cramped. Really the only thing that could have been better was the breakfast, which was pretty underwhelming for a $300+ hotel. Very cool neighborhood with lots of other food and coffee options within a block, though. Enjoyed the stay
