“The access through the adjacent cafe is certainly a departure from convention, and guests should be prepared for the walking involved from nearby parking facilities. However, the rooms are notably well-appointed and the staff consistently goes above and beyond to assist. Its position on Essex Street is undeniably prime, placing you squarely in the pulse of everything.”
