Bottom line: it's a fancy, elegant, quiet, well-located hotel that isn't really worth the price (not as bad if you have a AAA discount, though).
Let's put it this way -- the room service was a microcosm of my experience there. At the end of a long day, I decided to spoil myself by ordering some dinner to my room. The food arrived promptly and was delicious...as well as ludicrously overpriced for the portions!
