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.

Gayot "This swanky member of the Kimpton hotel group enjoys a great downtown location for sightseeing by foot."

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
