Interesting theme of traditional office bank building; modern conversion into hotel rooms well done. Room clean and comfortable; also quiet. Bath very nice. Did not eat much in lobby restaurant, but what I had was high quality. Staff very friendly and helpful. Parking about a block away in hotel ...
