Good central location, good transport access.
Rather noisy (weekend 8am) - from within. Windows insulation (acoustic) could be improved.

Superbowl weekend fun!
Wonderful atmosphere, bar service, desk professionals...only complaint was not being told we couldn't park ourselves and valet isn't optional in that lot next door. I tend to forget things in the car but all was well. Great place for my therapy animal as well. Park 4 blocks away. Also the microwave was not included= $25 fee. Great Superbowl bar atmosphere!
