Fodor's Review:

The cozy English clubhouse-like lobby sets the tone for this hotel, formerly the Gorham, with plenty of maple and cherry paneling, large library chairs, and leather-bound books along the walls. Fully equipped kitchenettes and large work areas make the spacious rooms a bargain, and the dark woods and rich fabrics are stylish enough to make the hotel a favorite of those in the fashion and entertainment industries. Abboccato, the well-reviewed Italian restaurant, provides room service. The location across from City Center is a boon to arts lovers.
