Beautiful upscale hotel with a restaurant in the hotel. Food is trendy and expensive. Decor in the room is lovely with wood floors, a refrigerator underneath a built in shelf with a wet bar. King size bed is super comfy and black out curtains

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff, markets just around the corner. The beds are well used, meaning ours you could tell everyone sleeps on the right side. Flattened and not as comfy as it could be. Be aware- close to train tracks. Each morning 6-7a, 1-3 trains would blare their horns, also near state house, bells toll at all hours.

Decent stay
Booked a standard room but was assigned an ADA room by hotels.com. I messaged to hotel and was told that I would get a regular room but when I checked in I was still in an ADA room. Had to pay $40 extra to get into a room since they were out of standard rooms. Hotel was nice, rooms were very pretty. Bed was hard. They did have a fan available since we forgot out which was super awesome. We opted for on street parking since it was $25 a nigh in the lot.
