Your introduction to this bustling, business-oriented hotel is a soaring, granite-and-glass atrium lobby. From atrium-view rooms you can spy on diners and scurrying businesspeople below. Exterior rooms have balconies and city vistas (on upper floors). The decor neither inspires nor offends. At this writing, room renovations are scheduled for completion in May 2008. Most of the suites were once condos and have full kitchens, washers and dryers, and walk-in closets. Some rooms have whirlpool baths, and there's an outdoor swimming pool on the roof. At breakfast, the eggs are cage-free, the bagels are shipped from New York. Service is professional, if on the cool side. Pros: Central location, everything for the business traveler. Cons: Can feel impersonal.
