    Clean and quiet! Room was large, modern, simple, and well laid-out. I liked having a fridge in the room, I will try them next time. Location was excellent for meetings.

    There was a cool mix of eras in the building. the common areas and lounges were beautiful examples of bygone post prohibition cocktail lounges, while the room was a very contemporary and comfortable space. we loved it!
