"The staff at check in were so cheerful and full of food choice recommendations, not just pushing their own dining. One in particular told us about some ‘hidden finds’ and where we could get a light night eat after our concert. I had booked a king room with sofa and we were given the corner suite with an incredible view. We live in Maine but don’t stay in the city often. It was a real treat. "
