Pros +

  • Location
  • The staff was exceptional and the location was perfect for our visit.
  • Location was perfect when it came to transit, food, tourist attractions, and emergency grocery stores.

Cons -

  • Small Rooms
  • One elevator servicing floors 11-41 was ridiculous, and the second elevator has apparently been out of service for YEARS!
  • I had read the reviews and knew the room would be small but it was more than sufficient for our visit. Not a big deal.
