Everything about the stay was wonderful. Location downtown, onsite restaurant, valet service, friendliness of staff and the room. We went on a weekend girls trip. This is an old historic hotel and the building exterior and lobby are currently under an extensive renovation. The construction was not noisy when we were there but we were there on a weekend.
