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."
