The hotel is in a great position if you ask me. We were able to explore a lot on foot. We used the pool area but unfortunately was let down by the hot tub not working and pool being very cold. The area was pleasant though. We had access to the Regency club. It could get very busy at peak times but the offerings were of a good standard.
The room we had was on the 20th floor. It was large and beautifully decorated . Would definitely recommend the hotel overall.

This was just a fantastic hotel, outstanding in every way. The service was exceptional; seldom have we stayed at such a welcoming and high quality hotel. Everything was perfect, with terrific attention to detail and a real feeling of being an honored guest. The hotel could charge at least 50% more and still be a bargain. Absolutely great place in a great neighborhood and convenient for downtown
