"We chose this location because we appreciate boutique hotels in walkable areas. We liked that breakfast and wine hour were included. Our king room was fairly typical. The noise level due to proximity to elevators and the noisy ventilation system was very distracting at all hours of day and night. We used the white noise machine, which helped a bit. Lobby was comfortable and the wine hour was very welcoming. it would have been nice to offer beer or soft drinks for those who don't like...
