100% worth it- will stay here again
This was a slight splurge and worth every penny! The location was ideal and the lobby and rooms were luxurious and comfortable enough to work from. The decor was impeccable throughout. I enjoyed the included breakfast and also chose to have lunch in their ground level restaurant, which was fantastic. 5 stars all around!
