This is a very cool hotel in a nice area. We like to walk so we walked to the river, the lake, the zoo, and to all the great high-end shopping destinations. This isn't your typical hotel stay. The little bakery wasn't open when we were there but it looked nice. We didn't take advantage of the bar but definitely would have if we had stayed longer. Check-in and check-out were very easy. Everyone at the hotel was very nice and accommodating. :)
