Awesome hotel with great service, ask for a room with a view. Valet is expensive, uber if it you can.

Chris KendallNovember 29, 2015The service is good like all MO's, the rooms are quality and comfortable, the food is excellent and it has a great gym. Having said all that there is something missing, perhaps it's the poor location.Upvote4Downvote

The rooms are definitely on the small side. The service is extraordinary, but I don't think the property is otherwise anything special.UpvoteDownvote

"US News is Correct! They say #2 in US. I think it's the best! Service, perfect. Your wish is their command. Rooms, beautiful. Water pressure, big."
Charles Baltimore - 8.0
"Contemporary and fresh room designs. Don’t bring too tall of refrigerated items as the fridge is a wine fridge and removing the racks are difficult."
Jay Colla - 8.3
"A lovely hotel with a great cafe and bookshop across the road! Really friendly staff and received hot flannels to freshen up when we checked in."
