The old hotel has been updated in a delightful way. The location is great for walking in the downtown area. It's close to a couple of great music venues as well as a sculpture park. On street and garage parking. Excellent (though pricey) restaurant onsite.

It was clean, easy to access and close to the venus I needed while in town. What I didn't like was after the turn down service they only left 1 towel for two people for the following day and they removed one coffee cup only leaving one cup for two people.

Amazing hotel. Everyone I encountered was professional and caring. Our room was crazy huge although all are not. We were granted a welcomed surprise upgrade!!! The hotel restaurant is second yo none!!! High end hotel with mid-west friendly staff makes a perfect combination. I love high end. I don't love stuffy.
