10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel re: staff, cleanliness, location, and convenience but it's in a weird food vortex. Everything is super high priced, contrived, and boring. Like, I just wanted to sit at a coffee shop that wasn't a Starbucks or corporate hellhole and those kind of options just aren't available. Not the fault of the property, just worth mentioning. The restaurant had the entire dining room closed off at 7:30p on a Saturday and had everyone crammed in the bar area which was perplexing. We ordered a dessert to go and wound up getting a refund because we had to leave for a show after having waited for 20 minutes with no food. I still gave this place 5 stars because, ultimately, they were small inconveniences. That said. I'd only stay here for business but would seek somewhere else for pleasure. Very transient experience"
