Traveling in June 2009 (recession), there were very, very few people in this hotel. That said -- the rates were good and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast buffet was excellent -- fuel for the entire day. The location was walking distance to markets. The hotel room was very nice, modern, recently remodeled. The lobby was very trendy -- DJ pumping tunes at the bar (but no one was ever at the bar). All in all a great place -- not a cheap place, but a very nice play to stay.
