Great location, great bed, very accommodating staff.

I am always peeved when hotels that charge over $200/night do not provide free internet. That seems a bit trite to me. But my only complaint

The staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant. They even sent my Mom a birthday cake up to the room with no prompting from me. They just overheard us talking about her birthday. Very nice.
