Top picks for space and comfort
If you want room to spread out or to work and relax separately, the Suite, 1 Bedroom and Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony are the clear choices. Both list a King Bed and a separate living area (the Suite, 1 Bedroom also includes a Double Sofa Bed).
Suites give the most flexible layouts for longer stays, families who want a sofa bed, or travelers who need a dedicated work area.
- Suite, 1 Bedroom — 1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed (best for families or added sleeping space).
- Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony — 1 King Bed with a balcony (best if you want outdoor access from the room).
| Room | Why choose it |
|---|---|
| Suite, 1 Bedroom | Separate living area and sofa bed for extra guests |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony | Private balcony plus suite living area |
Best for views and fresh air
Rooms with balconies are the straightforward pick for fresh air: the Premium Room, Balcony and Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony are the types that explicitly include balcony options. Balconies face toward St. Charles Avenue or the hotel's courtyard; exact views depend on the room location.
If you want a slightly smaller room but prefer outdoor space, the Premium Room, Balcony gives that tradeoff: less square footage than a suite but still private outdoor access.
- Premium Room, Balcony — balcony plus standard Premium-room amenities.
- Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony — more space plus balcony.
| Room type | Outdoor access |
|---|---|
| Premium Room, Balcony | Private balcony |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony | Private balcony from a suite |
Best value and standard choices
Classic Room, 1 King Bed and Classic Room, 2 Queen Beds are the standard options for most travelers — they provide the basics: free Wi‑Fi, the hotel's standard furnishings, and access to hotel amenities.
Choose Classic Room, 2 Queen Beds when you need two beds for family or friends; pick Classic Room, 1 King Bed if you prefer a single larger bed and a slightly more compact layout.
- Classic Room, 1 King Bed — good single‑bed option for solo or couple travelers.
- Classic Room, 2 Queen Beds — practical for families or two adults who prefer separate beds.
- Classic Room (Top Floor) — same Classic-room amenities but on the upper floor (may mean quieter or better views depending on location).
| Room | Best for |
|---|---|
| Classic Room, 1 King Bed | Solo travelers or couples |
| Classic Room, 2 Queen Beds | Families or two adults sharing |
| Classic Room (Top Floor) | Guests who prefer higher floors |

The hotel welcomes children of all ages; the minimum check-in age of 21 applies only to the lead guest on the reservation, not to limits on minors staying in rooms.
- Classic Room, 2 Queen Beds — basic and economical for families.
- Suite, 1 Bedroom — one King Bed plus Double Sofa Bed for extra sleeping space.
