Overall it was pretty decent. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Unfortunately on the first night, our television and safe did not work. They credited our room $50 for the inconvenience which we used towards the breakfast buffet, so that was nice! They ended up fixing the faulty accommodations promptly the next day. The location was perfect for the things we wanted to do too so we were pleased with it's accessibility factor as well.

Room was fine but not worth the price. Would have been useful to have the thermostat in heat mode and not a/c mode on arrival when outside temp was well below normal room temp.

Room 2148 was great, spacious and had a good view. House keeping did a good job. My only concern was that I had someone use a key and walked into my room with the “Do not disturb sign” on the door. This was around 9am I had just gotten water from the dispenser and came back to the room. Housekeeping was working on that floor and I know he wasn’t part of housekeeping. He did apologize and left immediately, but it does raised questions and seemed suspicious. I did not follow up with the incident because I was already going to checkout that morning.

I love the beautiful view over the river and city!! Everything was clean, bed was very comfortable, and the N'espresso coffee in the room is delicious--not the usual bland hotel coffee. I also appreciated the water carafes and filtered water station where I could also get seltzer and hot water for tea. This is my second time staying here, and not my last!
