Overall, this hotel is great because it's downtown. Nice amenities. Close to all public transportation. We tried the restaurant and it was really tasty and had excellent service. The elevators were a huge problem. Not enough working. People would overcrowd them and we actually stopped a foot below the bottom floor and someone had to hold the doors open for us to step up and out.
