Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel
Nice room, nice staff! Underground parking included. Walking distance to many restaurants and venues. Usually we are not "bar people", but Nick at the bar was outstanding!...And he wasn't even the one that was serving us. Just stopped for one drink before retiring for the night after seeing a show ...
