Convenient to downtown and numerous shopping and dining choices, this hotel caters equally well to business travelers—with up-to-date amenities and an executive level—and families, although you probably wouldn't choose it for a romantic getaway. The guest rooms surround a dramatic seven-story atrium. Open-air balconies let guests get a feel for the great outdoors.
