The Stanley
"Loved our stay at the Staley. The metro under the hotel was a bonus and we used it every day. I would say the rooftop bar and restaurant was the highlight. Our room was on level 8 so one flight of stairs to the rooftop… Breakfast was wonderful as was dinner at night. Highly recommend.."
