"It's a nice hotel, and I thought the staff was hardworking and friendly. I have mixed feelings about the "big cats" theme of the hotel (there was a giant panther right outside my room, which was decorated in various tiger stripes and cheetah spots, etc). The theme is certainly distinctive -- but it's also a little odd. That said, my room was small but well laid out and comfortable. A big plus were the range of excellent pillows. I also loved having a bathroom with a large window and tons of natural light. The breakfast, included with the room, was also great, even if the breakfast room can get quite crowded. Overall, a solid choice in a nice area of town."
