The hotel had a gorgeous and comfortable room, not the typical hotel room view of the Fire Station. It was so cozy that I didn't even miss home for the night. The service was friendly and helpful, although they seemed to get overwhelmed easily at times. The location was convenient to the event and local restaurants and bars, despite feeling slightly uncomfortable. The dining experience was really tasty, especially the grilled salmon, but the hotel seemed a little sketch. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and delicious dining.
