Gayot "This former private residence, built in 1892, has been reincarnated into a modern hotel with luxurious amenities in a small, very attractive package."

Avoid the “Britney Spears” room – designed by her mother, it looks as you would expect the singer’s childhood room to look, complete with pink bible and fairy statuettes.
Star Service "This bonny boutique-hotel has a long list of added perks that come standard at Kimpton hotels (including nightly wine and cheese hour)." Full review
Gayot "This swanky member of the Kimpton hotel group enjoys a great downtown location for sightseeing by foot."
BlackBook "This modish boutique hotel attracts travelers (and their pets) who appreciate the finer things."

Lonely Planet "Done up in jewel tones and contemporary furniture, the Onyx exudes warmth and style – two elements that do not always go hand in hand." Full review
